As famously observed by Ooguri and Vafa nearly 20 years ago, scalar field moduli spaces in quantum gravity appear to exhibit various universal features. For instance, they seem to be infinite in diameter, have trivial fundamental group, and feature t...

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 varia...

The Emergent String Conjecture of Lee, Lerche, and Weigand holds that every infinite-distance limit in the moduli space of a quantum gravity represents either a decompactification limit or an emergent string limit in some duality frame. Within the co... Read More about Gopakumar-Vafa invariants and the Emergent String Conjecture.
