The Swampland program aims to distinguish effective theories which can be completed into
quantum gravity in the ultraviolet from those which cannot. This article forms an introduction …

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 …

A bstract We test various conjectures about quantum gravity for six-dimensional string
compactifications in the framework of F-theory. Starting with a gauge theory coupled to …

A bstract Swampland criteria like the Weak Gravity Conjecture should not only apply to
particles, but also to other lower-codimension charged objects in 4d EFTs like strings and …

The Weak Gravity Conjecture holds that in a theory of quantum gravity, any gauge force
must mediate interactions stronger than gravity for some particles. This statement has …

A bstract We study scenarios where a scalar field has a spatially varying vacuum
expectation value such that the total field variation is super-Planckian. We focus on the case …

A bstract We propose a generalisation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture in the presence of
scalar fields. The proposal is guided by properties of extremal black holes in\(\mathcal {N} …

We describe a method for finding flux vacua of type IIB string theory in which the Gukov-Vafa-
Witten superpotential is exponentially small. We present an example with W 0≈ 2× 10-8 on …

We prove a version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for 6d F-theory or heterotic string
compactifications with 8 supercharges. This sharpens our previous analysis by including …

We give an overview of moduli stabilization in compactifications of string theory. We
summarize current methods for construction and analysis of vacua with stabilized moduli …
