The String Landscape and the Swampland
Recent developments in string theory suggest that string theory landscape of vacua is vast. It is natural to ask if this landscape is as vast as allowed by consistent-looking effective field theories. We use universality ideas from string theory to suggest that this is not the case, and that the landscape is surrounded by an even more vast swampland of consistent-looking semiclassical effective...
متن کاملOn the Geometry of the String Landscape and the Swampland
We make a number of conjectures about the geometry of continuous moduli parameterizing the string landscape. In particular we conjecture that such moduli are always given by expectation value of scalar fields and that moduli spaces with finite non-zero diameter belong to the swampland. We also conjecture that points at infinity in a moduli space correspond to points where an infinite tower of m...
متن کاملTHE PC-TAU METHOD ON THE SOLUTION OF A MODEL OF AN ISOLATED COSMIC STRING
In this paper, we adapt the operational Tau Method for personal computers and apply it to a system of two nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations which are related to general relativity. The interesting behaviour this problem exhibits in its numerical treatment is discussed. In this problem, we try to use the Tau perturbation term to locate the correct solution of this nonlin...
متن کاملReionization from cosmic string loops
Abstract Loops formed from a cosmic string network at early times would act as seeds for early formation of halos, which would form galaxies and lead to early reionization. With reasonable guesses about astrophysical and string parameters, the cosmic string scale Gμ must be no more than about 3 × 10 to avoid conflict with the reionization redshift found by WMAP. The bound is much stronger for s...
متن کاملCosmic String Created from Vacuum Fluctuation
The possibility of the cosmic string creation by the vacuum fluctuations of quantum fields in the self-consistent semiclassical theory of gravity is discussed. We use the approximate method for obtaining vacuum expectation value of the renormalized stress-energy tensor of conformally invariant quantum fields in static cylindrically symmetric spacetimes. We have obtained the particular solutions...
