The String Landscape and the Swampland
Recent developments in string theory suggest that string theory landscape of vacua is vast. It is natural to ask if this landscape is as vast as allowed by consistent-looking effective field theories. We use universality ideas from string theory to suggest that this is not the case, and that the landscape is surrounded by an even more vast swampland of consistent-looking semiclassical effective...
متن کاملNon-supersymmetric AdS and the Swampland
We propose to sharpen the weak gravity conjecture by the statement that, except for BPS states in a supersymmetric theory, the gravitational force is strictly weaker than any electric force and provide a number of evidences for this statement. Our conjecture implies that any non-supersymmetric anti-de Sitter vacuum supported by fluxes must be unstable, as is the case for all known attempts at s...
متن کاملfrom compact objects
We examine the reprocessing of X-ray radiation from compact objects by accretion disks when the X-ray emission from the star is highly beamed. The reprocessed flux for various degrees of beaming and inclinations of the beam axis with respect to the disk is determined. We find that, in the case where the beam is produced by a non-relativistic object, the intensity of the emitted spectrum is high...
متن کاملThe variability plane of accreting compact objects
Recently, it has been shown that soft-state black hole X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei populate a plane in the space defined by the black hole mass, accretion rate and characteristic frequency. We show that this plane can be extended to hard-state objects if one allows a constant offset for the frequencies in the soft and the hard state. During a state transition the frequencies rapid...
متن کاملMasses of Compact Galactic Objects
Andrew Gould (Ohio state University) and B. Scott Gaudi (Ohio state University) 5 Using the technique of gravitational microlensing, SIM Lite will conduct a representative census of all compact Galactic objects from brown dwarfs to black holes, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and main sequence stars. The masses of these objects will be derived from a combination of precise measurement of...
