Wormholes and the imaginary distance bound
Wormhole effects in theories with imaginary massless scalars set an upper limit on analytic continuation of couplings to imaginary values, with string theory examples showing the low-energy theory breaks down at or be...

How well can the QCD axion hide?
Multi-axion models relax the E/N bound on QCD axion photon coupling and allow subdominant dark matter contribution, but an axion-like particle is typically visible to next-generation experiments.

Sharpening the Supersymmetric Axion Weak Gravity Conjecture
The paper verifies the bound fS/|n| ≤ (π/(2 κ_d)) sqrt((d-1)/(d-2)) for axion instantons and sharpens it to fS/|n| ≤ (1/κ_4) sqrt(7/2) for supersymmetric 4d instantons using three approaches in the string landscape.

New Particles at the Z-Pole: Tera-Z factories as discovery and precision machines
Tera-Z factories can produce millions of heavy neutral leptons and billions of axion-like particles under optimistic assumptions, turning them into exotics factories for discovery and detailed study.

Assisted Fibre Inflation in Perturbative LVS
Multi-field fibre inflation in perturbative LVS uses collective dynamics of several moduli to achieve viable cosmology with sub-Planckian individual field ranges given by total range divided by sqrt(n).
