abstract

We demonstrate the validity of the String Lamppost Principle-that all consistent theories of quantum gravity are in the String Landscape-for supersymmetric theories in $d>6$ using compactness and connectedness of the moduli space of small instantons, as well as the classification of the associated Coulomb branch.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. 6d Supergravity Blocks

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Any consistent 6d (1,0) supergravity is assembled by gluing supergravity blocks (one H-string LST plus positively intersecting external tensors whose Gram matrix has one positive eigenvalue) and enhancing gauges; non-...

  2. A finite 6d supergravity landscape from anomalies

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Local and Dai-Freed global anomaly cancellation implies T ≤ 3003 and a finite 6d non-abelian supergravity landscape, with the extremal model [E8 x F4 x (G2 x SU(2))^2]^273.

  3. Linear and nonlinear supersymmetry in field and string theory

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Consistency criteria for constrained superfields, a gravitino energy and particle-production puzzle, the unique leading-order massive spin-2 to supergravity coupling, and a twisted Scherk-Schwarz orientifold with full...

  4. Cobordism Utopia: U-Dualities, Bordisms, and the Swampland

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For 8d maximal supergravity, the spin bordism groups Omega_k^Spin(B(SL(2,Z) x SL(3,Z))) for k=1..7 are computed and each generator is realized by a string/M/F-theory background, some of which are non-geometric.

  5. Moduli-Space Laplacians, Asymptotic Geometry, and the Emergent String Conjecture

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under the Emergent String Conjecture, the logarithm of any principal tower mass has a moduli-space Laplacian eigenvalue quantized to N/(D-d) for KK towers and N/2 for string oscillators, equal to the instanton-weighte...

  6. Non-supersymmetric dualities beyond the gauge algebra

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Verification of Blum-Dienes and Bergman-Gaberdiel dualities shows agreement in gauge group global forms from orientifold brane states and internal lattices, with one subtle projection exception.

  7. Non-supersymmetric branes and discrete topological terms

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A direct computation from the tentative NS5-brane spectrum gives the opposite Z3 topological term (1/3 vs 2/3) from Tachikawa-Zhang, so the spectrum or the inflow interpretation must change.

  8. Machine Learning the 6d Supergravity Landscape

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An autoencoder and two neural classifiers, trained only on anomaly Gram matrices, provide automated clustering, outlier detection, and consistency predictions for millions of 6d supergravity building blocks.

  9. More on 8d non-supersymmetric branes and heterotic strings

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The E8 non-supersymmetric heterotic string on T^2 has exactly 22 maximal gauge enhancements, found by two independent methods, with massless spectra listed for each.
