Thermodynamic interpretation of the de Sitter swampland conjecture

We interpret the de Sitter swampland conjecture in the thermodynamic point of view. When the number of degrees of freedom is enhanced as the modulus rolls down the potential, the bound on mPl∇V/V is equivalent to the condition for the positive temperature phase. The boundary between the positive- an...
