Résumé |
The Emergence Proposal claims that in Quantum Gravity the kinetic terms of all the the fields in the IR
emerge from integrating out (infinite) towers of particles up to the QG cutoff. After introducing this proposal
in the context of the Swampland Program and its relation to the Distance and Weak Gravity Conjectures, I will
explain why it is natural to identify this QG cutoff with the Species Scale, motivating it by direct computation
in the presence of the relevant towers. Then, I will present evidence for this proposal by directly studying how
it is realized in different string theory setups, where the kinetic terms of scalars, p-forms and even scalar
potentials can be shown to emerge after integrating out such towers. |
