Open AccessThe convex hull swampland distance conjecture and bounds on non-geodesics
The Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC) restricts the geodesic distances that scalars can traverse in effective field theories as they approach points at infinite distance in moduli space. We propose that, whe...

Open AccessTackling the SDC in AdS with CFTs
We study the Swampland Distance Conjecture for supersymmetric theories with AdS5 backgrounds and fixed radius through their ...

Open AccessDynamical Cobordism and Swampland Distance Conjectures
We consider spacetime-dependent solutions to string theory models with tadpoles for dynamical fields, arising from non-trivial scalar potentials. The solutions have necessarily finite extent in spacetime, and ...

Open AccessAt the end of the world: Local Dynamical Cobordism
The Cobordism Conjecture states that any Quantum Gravity configuration admits, at topological level, a boundary ending spacetime. We study the dynamical realization of cobordism, as spacetime dependent solutio...

Open AccessAsymptotic accelerated expansion in string theory and the Swampland
We study whether the universal runaway behaviour of stringy scalar potentials towards infinite field distance limits can produce an accelerated expanding cosmology à la quintessence. We identify a loophole to ...

Open AccessOn higher-spin points and infinite distances in conformal manifolds
Distances in the conformal manifold, the space of CFTs related by marginal deformations, can be measured in terms of the Zamolodchikov metric. Part of the CFT Distance Conjecture posits that points in this man...

Open AccessEmergence of species scale black hole horizons
The scale at which quantum gravity becomes manifest, the species scale Λs, has recently been argued to take values parametrically lower than the Planck scale. We use black holes of vanishing horizon area (small b...
