mediate interactions stronger than gravity for some particles. This statement has surprisingly …

The weak gravity conjecture and BPS particles

M Alim, B Heidenreich, T Rudelius - Fortschritte der Physik, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Motivated by the Weak Gravity Conjecture, we uncover an intricate interplay
between black holes, BPS particle counting, and Calabi‐Yau geometry in five dimensions. In …

Integrable scalar cosmologies I. Foundations and links with string theory

P Fré, A Sagnotti, AS Sorin - Nuclear Physics B, 2013 - Elsevier
We build a number of integrable one-scalar spatially flat cosmologies, which play a natural
role in inflationary scenarios, examine their behavior in several cases and draw from them …

Nothing really matters

G Dibitetto, N Petri, M Schillo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
We study non-perturbative instabilities of AdS spacetime in General Relativity with a
cosmological constant in arbitrary dimensions. In this simple setup we explicitly construct a …

Proving the Weak Gravity Conjecture in Perturbative String Theory, Part I: The Bosonic String

B Heidenreich, M Lotito - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.14449, 2024 - arxiv.org
We present a complete proof of the Weak Gravity Conjecture in any perturbative bosonic
string theory in spacetime dimension $ D\ge6 $. Our proof works by relating the black hole …

Non-extremal black holes of N= 2, d= 4 supergravity

P Galli, T Ortin, J Perz, CS Shahbazi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
We propose a generic recipe for deforming extremal black holes into non-extremal black
holes and we use it to find and study the static non-extremal black-hole solutions of several …

Extremal black holes, nilpotent orbits and the true fake superpotential

G Bossard, Y Michel, B Pioline - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
Dimensional reduction along time offers a powerful way to study stationary solutions of 4D
symmetric supergravity models via group-theoretical methods. We apply this approach …
