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 …

Our current best guess for a unified theory of gravitation and quantum field theory (string
theory) generically predicts a set of requirements for a consistently quantized theory, the …

We discuss how dissipative effects and the presence of a thermal radiation bath, which are
inherent characteristics of the warm inflation dynamics, can evade the recently proposed …

A bstract A low-energy effective theory is said to be in the swampland if it does not have any
consistent UV completion inside a theory of quantum gravity. The natural question is if the …

Recently, arguments for a refined de Sitter conjecture were put forward in [1]. Using the large
distance conjecture of [2], the authors provide evidence for this dS conjecture in asymptotic …

Motivated by its potential use as a starting point for solving various cosmological constant
problems, we study F‐theory compactified on the warped product where Y8 is a manifold …

A bstract We present strong evidence that the tree level slow roll bounds of arXiv:
1807.05193 and arXiv: 1810.05506 are valid, even when the tachyon has overlap with the …

A bstract The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) demands the existence of superextremal
particles in any consistent quantum theory of gravity. The standard lore is that these particles …

We study the phenomenology of a recent string construction with a quantum mechanically
stable dark energy. A mild supersymmetry protects the vacuum energy but also allows TeV …

We study a model where quintessence potential e− ξ ϕ coupled to Higgs potential. We
calculate the evolution of the quintessence, and track the running of the effective Higgs self …
