Asymptotic Accelerated Expansion in String Theory and the Swampland
José Calderón-Infante, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela
We study whether the universal runaway behaviour of stringy scalar potentials towards infinite field distance limits can produce an accelerated expanding cosmology à la quintessenc…
At the End of the World: Local Dynamical Cobordism
Roberta Angius, José Calderón-Infante, Matilda Delgado +2
The Cobordism Conjecture states that any Quantum Gravity configuration admits, at topological level, a boundary ending spacetime. We study the dynamical realization of cobordism, a…
Dynamical Cobordism and Swampland Distance Conjectures
Ginevra Buratti, José Calderón-Infante, Matilda Delgado +1
We consider spacetime-dependent solutions to string theory models with tadpoles for dynamical fields, arising from non-trivial scalar potentials. The solutions have necessarily fin…
Lectures on the Swampland Program in String Compactifications
Marieke van Beest, José Calderón-Infante, Delaram Mirfendereski +1
The Swampland program aims to determine the constraints that an effective field theory must satisfy to be consistent with a UV embedding in a quantum gravity theory. Different prop…
The Convex Hull Swampland Distance Conjecture and Bounds on Non-geodesics
José Calderón-Infante, Angel M. Uranga, Irene Valenzuela
The Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC) restricts the geodesic distances that scalars can traverse in effective field theories as they approach points at infinite distance in modul…
Limits on the Mass and Abundance of Primordial Black Holes from Quasar Gravitational Microlensing
E. Mediavilla, J. JimÉnez-Vicente, J. A. MuÑoz +2
The idea that dark matter can be made of intermediate-mass primordial black holes in the range has recently been reconsidered, particular…
