(In)stability of de Sitter vacuum in light of distance conjecture and emergence proposal

Abstract The distance conjecture claims that as the modulus traverses along the trans-Planckian geodesic distance, the effective field theory becomes invalid by a descent of a tower of states from UV. Moreover, according to the recent (strong version of) emergence proposal, the kinetic term of the m...
