Strings Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club: ‘Self-gravitational Effects in the Black Hole-Tower Correspondence’
Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00
Speaker: Miquel Aparici (IFT)
Abstract: It is well-known that in weak coupling and near decompactification limits, towers of light particles appear in the spectrum of gravitational theories. These towers can be postulated to correspond to minimal black holes in a framework known as the black hole-tower correspondence. We study the transition from towers of particles to black holes and analyze self-gravitational effects of the tower as the EFT cutoff is approached.
