Speaker: Bernardo Fraiman (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: For non-compact, locally symmetric moduli spaces M, the set of geodesics and the geometry of the boundary can be completely characterised using group theory. Under the assumption that M is "compactifiable" and some mild conditions on the spectrum of states, we prove the SDC for […]

Speaker: Matteo Lotito (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: I present a brief summary of the derivation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture within perturbative string theory, following , and highlight possible gaps that may hinder a fully consistent proof. I then analyze the existence and properties of the black hole solutions whose extremality bounds […]
