The fundamental need for a SM Higgs and the weak gravity conjecture

Compactifying the SM down to 3D or 2D one may obtain AdS vacua depending on the neutrino mass spectrum. It has been recently shown that, by insisting in the absence of these vacua, as suggested by Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) arguments, intriguing constraints on the value of the lightest neutrino m...
