A Strong Scalar Weak Gravity Conjecture and some implications

Abstract We propose a new version of the scalar Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) which would apply to any scalar field coupled to quantum gravity. For a single scalar it is given by the differential constraint (V″)2 ≤ (2V‴2 − V″V′′′′) M p 2 $$ {M}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ , where V is the scalar potential. It...
