Event Details

The Swampland program attempts to classify Effective Field Theories based on their compatibility with Quantum Gravity. The criteria for compatibility are posed as conjectures for which there exist varying levels of evidence from explicit string compactifications. In this talk, I will discuss completed and ongoing work that is focused on testing various Swampland conjectures using non-geometric string compactifications. In particular, I will focus on the tadpole and asymptotic strong de-Sitter conjectures.
