The swampland: introduction and review
E Palti - Fortschritte der Physik, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The Swampland program aims to distinguish effective theories which can be completed into
quantum gravity in the ultraviolet from those which cannot. This article forms an introduction …

Supersymmetric protection and the Swampland
A bstract For certain terms in the action, supersymmetry can forbid an infinite number of
possible contributions. We study whether such protection can occur in quantum gravity even …

Life at the interface of particle physics and string theory
AN Schellekens - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2013 - APS
If the results of the first LHC run are not betraying us, many decades of particle physics are
culminating in a complete and consistent theory for all nongravitational physics: the standard …

Dynamics of the Peccei-Quinn scale
LM Carpenter, M Dine, G Festuccia - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2009 - APS
Invoking the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) solution to the strong CP problem substitutes the puzzle of
why θ qcd is so small with the puzzle of why the PQ symmetry is of such high quality …

Warping and supersymmetry breaking
MR Douglas, J Shelton, G Torroba - arXiv preprint arXiv:0704.4001, 2007 - arxiv.org
We analyze supersymmetry breaking by anti-self-dual flux in the deformed conifold. This
theory has been argued to be a dual realization of susy breaking by antibranes. As such …
