Persistence of the pattern in the interior of 5d moduli spaces

Rudelius, Tom

Abstract

Castellano, Ruiz, and Valenzuela recently observed a remarkable “pattern” in infinite-distance limits of moduli spaces in quantum gravity, which relates the field space variation of the mass of the lightest tower of particles to the field space variation of the species scale. In this work, we show how a version of this pattern can be proven to hold for BPS particles and strings throughout the vector multiplet moduli space of a 5d supergravity theory, even in regions where the particle masses and string tensions are substantially modified relative to their asymptotic behavior in the infinite-distance limits. This suggests that a suitably defined version of the pattern may hold not merely in the asymptotic limits of moduli space, but in the interior as well.
