Bumping into the Species Scale with the Scalar Potential

As a quantum gravity cut-off, the species scale Λ s $\Lambda _s$ gets naturally compared to energy of scalar potential V in an EFT. In this note, scale, its rate | ∇ / $|\nabla \Lambda _s|/\Lambda and their field dependence, those is compared. To that end, string compactification leading with same properties as namely, being positive, starting at maximum bulk space going asymptotically zero first identified. The trajectory followed our 14-fields steepest descent. Evaluating V|/V$ along path, local maximum, or bump, feature noticed well for are observed. origin bump potential, compare it investigated.
