Weak gravity conjecture, black hole entropy, and modular invariance
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 In recent literature, it has been argued that a mild form of the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is satisfied by wide classes of effective field theories in which higher-derivative corrections can be shown to shift the charge-to-mass ratios of extremal ...

Background Instability of Quintessence Model in Light of Entropy and Distance Conjecture
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT We apply the covariant entropy bound argument supporting the de Sitter swampland conjecture to the quintessence model, to find out the condition for the background to be unstable. More concretely, the background is unstable when the matter entropy given by the species number of the effective field theory increases more rapidly than the ...

Large N limit of extremal non-supersymmetric black holes
, 1998 The large N limit of extremal non-supersymmetric Type-I five-dimensional string black holes is studied from the point of view of D-branes. We find that the agreement between the D-brane and the black hole picture is due to an asymptotic restoration of ...

Building the blocks of Schwarzschild
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe demonstrate that the Schwarzschild black hole can be “resolved” into bound states of Reissner-Nordström black holes in four dimensions. These bound states closely resemble the Schwarzschild geometry from the asymptotic region up to an infinitesimal ...

Exploring Potential Mechanisms for the Initiation of Solifluction Patterns
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Hillslopes in arctic regions commonly display large‐scale features—known as solifluction patterns—that form due to the exceedingly slow downhill movement of frost‐heaved soil. Here we use a combination of remote sensing data, linear stability analysis, numerical modeling, and review of a wide range of literature to evaluate several working ...

Gauge theory, holography & black holes: Perspectives from string theory [PDF]
, 2018 This thesis is based on research performed in the context of string- and M-theory. It can be divided into two main parts: the first concerns a very effective organizing principle, also known as the worldvolume theory of multiple M5 branes, for the study ...

Fire‐survival strategies of first‐year acacia seedlings
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.Acacia seedlings (11 of 12 species) acquire some ability to survive grass fires in their first year, either by resisting topkill with thickened stems and/or by regrowing from below‐ground stems. The results suggest that small differences in these fire‐survival strategies at this crucial life stage translate to large differences in savanna physiognomy ...

Black hole thermodynamics from string theory [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 1994 In this note we consider a stringy description of black hole horizon. We start with a nonlinear sigma model defined on a two dimensional Euclidean surface with background Rindler metric. By solving the field equations, we show that to the leading order the Bekenstein-Hawking formula of black hole entropy can be produced.

String/Gauge Duality and Penrose Limit [PDF]
, 2003 Berenstein, Maldacena, and Nastase have recently discovered a particular limit of AdS/CFT correspondence where string theory in a plane wave background is dual to a sector of $mathcal N =4 SYM in a double scaling limit.
