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 …

These lecture notes provide a pedagogical introduction, with exercises, to the techniques
used in attempts to construct vacua with stabilized moduli in string theory. The reader is only …

We provide an overview of the string landscape and the Swampland program. Our review of
the string landscape covers the worldsheet and spacetime perspectives, including vacua …

The swampland is the set of seemingly consistent low-energy effective field theories that
cannot be consistently coupled to quantum gravity. In this review we cover some of the …

A bstract Recent works have revealed that quantum extremal islands can contribute to the
fine-grained entropy of black hole radiation reproducing the unitary Page curve. In this …

A bstract Based on Quantum Gravity arguments, it has been suggested that all kinetic terms
of light particles below the UV cut-off could arise in the IR via quantum (loop) corrections …

A bstract By applying the Covariant Entropy Bound (CEB) to an EFT in a box of size 1/ΛIR
one obtains that the UV and IR cut-offs of the EFT are necessarily correlated. We argue that …

A bstract Demanding that charged Nariai black holes in (quasi-) de Sitter space decay
without becoming super-extremal implies a lower bound on the masses of charged particles …

A bstract We study runaway, kination-dominated epochs in string cosmology. We show how
the apparent classical decompactification runaway of the volume modulus, described by a …
