Description
The quest of a theory of quantum gravity has been a long journey for physicists, even after the introduction of string theory which has solved many problems on the matter. Recently the Swampland Program has made great progress, since it differentiates between what could be a theory of quantum gravity and what theories could not. This can be done by introducing some conditions, also known as conjectures. Of special importance to us is the Weak Gravity Conjecture suggesting a bound on the strength of the force of gravity. More precisely we will be interested in the asymptotic Weak Gravity Conjecture which is a refined version of the former, and which also involves a number of conjectures of the Swampland program, and shows interesting results.
