The FL bound and its phenomenological implications

Demanding that charged Nariai black holes in (quasi-)de Sitter space decay without becoming super-extremal implies a lower bound on the masses of particles, known as Festina Lente (FL) bound. In this paper we fix $\mathcal{O}(1)$ constant and elucidate various aspects it, well extensions to $d>4$ situations with scalar potentials dilatonic couplings. We also discuss phenomenological implications FL including an explanation why Higgs potential cannot have local minimum at origin, thus explaining weak force must be broken. For constructions meta-stable dS involving anti-brane uplift scenarios, even though throat region is consistent FL, any light matter fields coming from far away compactified geometry, contrary fact they are typically expected arise these scenarios. This strongly suggests introduction warped anti-branes decoupled bulk dynamics commonly assumed. Finally, provide some evidence certain can gravity illustrate context non-compact throats.
