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 …

Large N field theories, string theory and gravity

O Aharony, SS Gubser, J Maldacena, H Ooguri, Y Oz - Physics Reports, 2000 - Elsevier

Lectures on the string landscape and the Swampland

NB Agmon, A Bedroya, MJ Kang, C Vafa - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.06187, 2022 - arxiv.org

The string landscape, the swampland, and the missing corner

TD Brennan, F Carta, C Vafa - arXiv preprint arXiv:1711.00864, 2017 - arxiv.org
We give a brief overview of the string landscape and techniques used to construct string
compactifications. We then explain how this motivates the notion of the swampland and …
