We provide a moduli-dependent definition of species scale in quantum gravity based on black hole arguments. Concretely, it is derived from of a lower bound on the entropy of extremal black holes with higher curvature corrections, which ensures that the black hole can be reliably described within the effective theory. By demanding that our definition coincides with a recent proposal for a moduli-dependent species scale motivated from the topological string, we conclude that the conjecture $\mathcal{Z}_{BH} = |\mathcal{Z}_{\rm top}|^2$ relating the black hole to the topological string partition functions should hold, at least within the regime of validity of our analysis.

  1. Integral Scaling for EFT Strings from the Bottom-Up

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Under brane-taxonomy axioms and an n_e≤7 homogeneity bound, integral scaling with w≤3 is an exhaustive finite consequence for all EFT string candidates in 4d N=1 moduli slices.

  2. Optimal paths across potentials on scalar field space

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Optimal transport yields a generalized Wasserstein distance on field space, obtained from a WKB expansion of a Schrödinger equation and extended to dynamical gravity via the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the ADM formalism.

  3. The CFT Distance Conjecture and Tensionless String Limits in $\mathcal N=2$ Quiver Gauge Theories

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In N=2 SU quiver theories the large-N Hagedorn temperature depends only on quiver length for linear cases and equals that of N=4 SYM for holographic quivers, with a universal lower bound of 1/sqrt(2) on the exponentia...

  4. Kaluza-Klein tower thresholds and scheme dependence of the species scale

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    Leading KK-tower local corrections to four-derivative gravity are regulator-dependent EFT matching data, while log N terms are universal within proper-time cutoffs, so species-scale definitions match only parametrically.

  5. TransPlanckian Censorship on Dark Dimension Inflation

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    TransPlanckian Censorship forces dark-dimension inflation into a narrow one-dimension window with a pre-inflationary phase and suppresses tensor modes to r < 10^-10.

  6. Cosmological history after higher dimensional inflation

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Proposes a post-inflation cosmological evolution in large-extra-dimension models that prevents bulk graviton overproduction up to reheating while preserving scale-invariant perturbations for 1-2 micron-sized dimensions.
