Title: On the Moduli Space Curvature and Gravity Decoupling

Venue & Time: Blue Room / 10:00-12:30

Abstract: This thesis investigates the asymptotic regimes of four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity moduli spaces, seeking a robust geometric definition of gravity decoupling. It does so in the context of the Swampland Program, whose primary objective is to delineate the precise boundaries between consistent low-energy effective field theories and those incompatible with quantum gravity. Ultimately, this thesis establishes a precise, quantifiable dictionary between macroscopic moduli space geometry and microscopic quantum field theory constraints, demonstrating that scalar curvature divergences at infinite distance are not geometric artifacts, but rather the definitive sentinels of quantum field theories successfully isolating themselves from gravity.
