We study black hole extremality in nonlinear electrodynamics motivated by the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) and the Festina Lente (FL) bound. For illustration, we consider the Euler-Heisenberg model and the Dirac-Born-Infeld model in asymptotically flat spacetime, de Sitter spacetime, and anti-de Sitter spacetime. We find that in all cases the extremal condition enjoys a certain monotonicity expected by the WGC. This provides evidence for the conjecture beyond the leading order corrections to the Einstein-Maxwell theory. We also study how light charged particles modify the mass-charge relation of Nariai black holes in de Sitter spacetime and discuss possible implications for the FL bound. Besides, we point out an interesting similarity between our black hole analysis and gravitational positivity bounds on scattering amplitudes.

  1. Scalar weak gravity bound from full unitarity

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For a shift-symmetric scalar EFT with gravity, unitarity and dispersion relations imply Λ/M_P < 2.38 \tilde{g}_2^{1/5} and, in an improved smeared version, Λ^2/M_P^2 < 0.0115 |\tilde{g}_2|.

  2. 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.
