Swampland Revisited

چکیده
Abstract The transcendental expectation of string theory is that the nature fundamental forces, particle spectra and masses, together with coupling constants, uniquely determined by mathematical logical consistency, non-empirically, pure reason. However pluralism triumphed explosive emergence multiverse. String theorists have extended a long-sought dream (their unique final theory) to landscape or happy caparnaum. Proponents try qualify their arguments via swampland conjectures while cosmologists retreat telescopes. We review current status swampland.

Non-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 کاملThe 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 کاملQUICKSELECT Revisited
We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.
متن کاملOn the Geometry of the String Landscape and the Swampland
We make a number of conjectures about the geometry of continuous moduli parameterizing the string landscape. In particular we conjecture that such moduli are always given by expectation value of scalar fields and that moduli spaces with finite non-zero diameter belong to the swampland. We also conjecture that points at infinity in a moduli space correspond to points where an infinite tower of m...
متن کاملPENDRED\'S SYNDROME REVISITED
Pendred's syndrome is defined as a triad of congenital perceptive hearing loss, goiter, and abnormal perchlorate test. Three brothers with Pendred's syndrome [P.S.] are reported. The oldest brother has hearing loss (he has been deaf and mute since childhood) and has a large goiter. A thyroid scan revealed euthyroid multinodular goiter and a perchlorate test was performed, and reported abno...
