Large-N bounds on, and compositeness limit of, gauge and gravitational interactions
read the original abstract
In a toy model of gauge and gravitational interactions in $D \ge 4$ dimensions, endowed with an invariant UV cut-off $\Lambda$, and containing a large number $N$ of non-self-interacting matter species, the physical gauge and gravitational couplings at the cut-off, $\alpha_g \equiv g^2 \Lambda^{D-4}$ and $\alpha_G \equiv G_N \Lambda^{D-2}$, are shown to be bounded by appropriate powers of ${1\over N}$. This implies that the infinite-bare-coupling (so-called compositeness) limit of these theories is smooth, and can even resemble our world. We argue that such a result, when extended to more realistic situations, can help avoid large-N violations of entropy bounds, solve the dilaton stabilization and GUT-scale problems in superstring theory, and provide a new possible candidate for quintessence.

Negative running of gravitational positivity
Non-minimal three-point interactions induce negative one-loop running of Wilson coefficients in gravitational EFTs, yet graviton loops generate positive IR contributions that dominate the bounds after smearing if the ...

Kaluza-Klein tower thresholds and scheme dependence of the species scale
Leading KK-tower local corrections to four-derivative gravity are regulator-dependent EFT matching data, while log N terms are universal within proper-time cutoffs, so species-scale definitions match only parametrically.
