The AdS/CFT Correspondence Conjecture and Topological Censorship
In [1] it was shown that (n+1)-dimensional asymptotically anti-de-Sitter spacetimes obeying natural causality conditions exhibit topological censorship. We use this fact in this paper to derive in arbitrary dimension relations between the topology of the timelike boundary-at-infinity, I, and that of the spacetime interior to this boundary. We prove as a simple corollary of topological censorshi...
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 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 کاملFalconer’s Distance Set Conjecture
In this paper, using a recent parabolic restriction estimate of Tao, we obtain improved partial results in the direction of Falconer’s distance set conjecture in dimensions d ≥ 3.
متن کاملThe Transplanckian Question and the Casimir Effect
It is known that, through inflation, Planck scale phenomena should have left an imprint in the cosmic microwave background. The magnitude of this imprint is expected to be suppressed by a factor σn where σ ≈ 10 is the ratio of the Planck length to the Hubble length during inflation. While there is no consensus about the value of n, it is generally thought that n will determine whether the impri...
