Sharpening the Distance Conjecture in diverse dimensions

چکیده
The Distance Conjecture holds that any infinite-distance limit in the scalar field moduli space of a consistent theory quantum gravity must be accompanied by tower light particles whose masses scale exponentially with proper distance $\Vert\phi\Vert$ as $m \sim \exp(- \lambda \Vert\phi\Vert)$, where $\lambda$ is order-one Planck units. While evidence for this conjecture formidable, there at present no consensus on which values are allowed. In paper, we propose sharp lower bound lightest given $d$ dimensions: $\lambda \geq 1/\sqrt{d-2}$. support proposal, show (1) it exactly preserved under dimensional reduction, (2) saturated many examples string/M-theory compactifications, including maximal supergravity $d= \text{4 - 10}$ dimensions, and (3) minimal assuming appropriate versions Weak Gravity Conjecture. We argue towers < 1/\sqrt{d-2}$ discussed previously literature always even lighter 1/\sqrt{d-2}$, thereby satisfying our proposed bound. discuss connections implications Emergent String Conjecture, Scalar Repulsive Force large-field inflation, potentials gravity. particular, if applies beyond massless spaces to fields potentials, then accelerated cosmological expansion cannot occur asymptotic regimes

On the Weinstein Conjecture in Higher Dimensions
The first break-through on this conjecture was obtained by C. Viterbo, [19], showing that compact energy surfaces in R2n of contact-type have periodic orbits. Extending Gromov’s theory of pseudoholomorphic curves, [3], to symplectized contact manifolds, H. Hofer, [4], related the Weinstein conjecture to the existence of certain pseudoholomorphic curves. He showed that in dimension three the Wei...
متن کامل(OM) Theory in Diverse Dimensions
Open string theories can be decoupled from closed strings and gravity by scaling to the critical electric field. We propose dual descriptions for the strong coupling limit of these NCOS (Non-Commutative Open String) theories in six or fewer spacetime dimensions. In particular, we conjecture that the five-dimensionsal NCOS theory at strong coupling, is a theory of light Open Membranes (OM=:), de...
