The fate of stringy AdS vacua and the WGC
read the original abstract
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.

Dark bubbles, dark dimensions and fat gravitons
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...
