Journal ArticleDOI
Sharpening the weak gravity conjecture with dimensional reduction
TL;DR: In this article, the weak gravity conjecture was investigated under toroidal compactification and RG flows, finding evidence that WGC bounds for single photons become weaker in the infrared and a superextremal particle should exist for every charge in the charge lattice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a Lattice Weak Gravity Conjecture
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that effective Kaluza-Klein field theories and perturbative string vacua respect the Sublattice Weak Gravity Conjecture, i.e., an infinite tower of superextremal particles of different charges exists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weak gravity strongly constrains large-field axion inflation
TL;DR: In this article, the Weak Gravity Conjecture is used to constrain the simplest case in which a single compact axion descends from a gauge field in an extra dimension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a sublattice weak gravity conjecture
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that effective Kaluza-Klein field theories and perturbative string vacua respect the sublattice weak gravity conjecture, which implies that an infinite tower of superextremal particles of different charges exists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of Weak Coupling at Large Distance in Quantum Gravity
TL;DR: The Ooguri-Vafa swampland conjectures claim that in any consistent theory of quantum gravity, a tower of particles will become light at a rate that is exponential in the field-space distance, and this work provides a novel viewpoint on this claim.
