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 […]

Strings, Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club Title: 'Quantum Obstructions to N=1 Infinite Distance Limits' Speaker: Jeroen Monnee (U. Hamburg) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: We study limits in the field space of 4d N=1 orientifold compactifications of Type IIB string theory with O3/O7-planes that descend from infinite distance limits in the complex structure […]
