Lectures on the Swampland Program
The Swampland program aims to determine the constraints that an effective field theory must satisfy to be consistent with a UV embedding in a quantum gravity theory. Different proposals have been formulated in the form of Swampland conjectures. In these lecture notes, we provide a pedagogical introduction to the most important Swampland conjectures, their connections and their realization in string theory compactifications.
Below you can find a selection of lectures I have given at international schools about the Swampland program. The list is not exhaustive and highlights only some representative lectures.
