Taking a thermodynamic perspective, we study the weak gravity conjecture in the context of 4D Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. We find closed-form expressions for the corrected thermodynamic quantities in the presence of four-derivative terms in the action, and in particular the charge-to-mass ratio and entropy, for several families of solutions of special magnetic-to-electric charge ratio or dilaton coupling constant. Assuming that dyonic black holes themselves are the conjectured charged states, this places constraints on the Wilson coefficients of the theory which we show are satisfied under mild assumptions on the UV theory.

  1. Causality Constraints on Black Hole Thermodynamics in Nonlinear Electrodynamics

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Causality in nonlinear electrodynamics forces the entropy-to-mass-squared ratio of black holes to decrease with mass and the extremal mass-to-charge ratio to increase with charge.
