Instanton Resummation and the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Ben Heidenreich, Cody Long, Liam McAllister +2
We develop methods for resummation of instanton lattice series. Using these tools, we investigate the consequences of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for large-field axion inflation. W…
On String Theory Expectations for Photon Couplings to Axion-Like Particles
James Halverson, Cody Long, Brent Nelson +1
ALP-photon couplings are modeled in large ensembles of string vacua and random matrix theories. In all cases, the effective coupling increases polynomially in the number of ALPs, o…
Minimal Surfaces and Weak Gravity
Mehmet Demirtas, Cody Long, Liam McAllister +1
We show that the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) implies a nontrivial upper bound on the volumes of the minimal-volume cycles in certain homology classes that admit no calibrated rep…
On Axion Reheating in the String Landscape
James Halverson, Cody Long, Brent Nelson +1
We demonstrate that asymmetric reheating arises in a large ensemble of string compactifications with many axions and gauged dark sectors. This phenomenon may help avoid numerous co…
