Moduli-Space Laplacians, Asymptotic Geometry, and the Emergent String Conjecture
Christian Aoufia, Muldrow Etheredge, Bernardo Fraiman +2
At asymptotic limits of moduli spaces of quantum gravity vacua, we argue that the masses of the lightest particle towers are eigenfunctions of the moduli-space Laplacian. The assoc…

Elementary Constituents Conjecture
Vinicius Nevoa, Sanjay Raman, Cumrun Vafa
In this note, we conjecture and provide evidence that quantum gravity cobordism classes are trivialized by elementary generators with tension at most order 1 in Planck units. Motiv…

Finiteness and the Emergence of Dualities
Matilda Delgado, Damian van de Heisteeg, Sanjay Raman +3
We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of no…
