1. 1. The Impact of Swampland Conjectures

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Daniel Nilsson; [2023]
   Keywords : String theory; Quantum gravity; Swampland program; Effective field theories;

   Abstract : The Swampland program is way of sorting effective field theories based on conjectures of how an effective field theory consistent with quantum gravity should look like. In this thesis we take a closer look at the No Global Symmetries Conjecture, the Weak Gravity Conjecture, the de Sitter Conjecture and the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture. READ MORE

3. 2. The Swampland and Early Universe Cosmology

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Alexia Nix; [2022]
   Keywords : Swampland; Early Universe; String Theory; Cosmology; Effective Field Theory; Dark Energy.;

   Abstract : Until now the quantum field theory (QFT) that successfully describes the electric, weak and strong interactions (three out of the four fundamental forces) between particles is the Standard Model, but it omits gravity. The prime candidate for a quantum theory of gravity is string theory. READ MORE

4. 3. F-theory on six-dimensional symmetric toroidal orbifolds

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Finn Bjarne Kohl; [2021]
   Keywords : F-theory; orbifolds; String Theory; String Phenomenology; roto-translations; six-dimensional; F-Theorie; Orbifaltigkeiten; String Theorie; String Phenomenologie; Roto-Translationen; sechs-dimensional;

   Abstract : In this thesis, compactifications of F-theory on six dimensional symmetric toroidalorbifolds are explored. These orbifold geometries have been mathematically classified and it is natural to ask what the physical implications of string theorycompactifications on those geometries are. READ MORE
