The authors of arXiv:1610.01533 have recently proposed a stronger version of the weak gravity conjecture (WGC), based on which they concluded that all those non-supersymmetric AdS vacua that can be embedded within a constistent theory of quantum gravity necessarily develop instabilities. In this paper we further elaborate on this proposal by arguing that the aforementioned instabilities have a perturbative nature and arise from the crucial interplay between the closed and the open string sectors of the theory.

  1. Quantum corrections to DGKT and the Weak Gravity Conjecture

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Quantum corrections from gaugino condensation and D2 instantons lift the DGKT D4-brane moduli space, making the branes self-attractive and putting the vacuum in tension with the membrane WGC.

  2. On the branes behind scale-separated AdS$_{3}$ flux vacua

    hep-th 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Scale-separated supersymmetric AdS3 flux vacua of type IIB G2-orientifolds arise as the near-horizon region of codimension-one smeared D1-D5-KK5 intersections.

  3. Dark bubbles, dark dimensions and fat gravitons

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The dark bubble model realizes the dark dimension and fat graviton proposals by predicting a micron-sized extra dimension, gravity weakening at that scale, a tens-of-TeV string scale, and measurable positive spatial c...
