EFT (String) Tower Building
Alessandra Grieco, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela
We develop a bottom-up framework to reconstruct the asymptotic spectrum of light towers in four-dimensional effective field theories directly from their Kähler pot…
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Tensionless String Limits in 4d SCFTs
José Calderón-Infante, Angel M. Uranga, Irene Valenzuela
The paper classifies infinite-distance weak‑coupling limits of large‑N 4d superconformal gauge theories using brane constructions, showing that three universality classes of emerge…
EFT strings and dualities in 4d
Alessandra Grieco, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela
We investigate the global structure of the states becoming light at perturbative limits of 4d string and M-theory compactifications, identifying the different duali…
Alice in Warpland: KK modes, Warped Compactifications and the Swampland
Salvatore Raucci, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of Kaluza-Klein (KK) towers in warped compactifications to Minkowski space. Focusing on the overall decompactification limit, we derive the s…
Tensionless String Limits in 4d Conformal Manifolds
José Calderón-Infante, Irene Valenzuela
Drawing on insights from the Swampland program, we initiate a classification of infinite distance limits in the conformal manifolds of 4d SCFTs. Each limit is characterized by a Ha…
Taxonomy of Infinite Distance Limits
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Tom Rudelius +2
The Emergent String Conjecture constrains the possible types of light towers in infinite-distance limits in quantum gravity moduli spaces. In this paper, we use these constraints t…
