Atlas library · 28 sources

A source trail you can follow.

Each record preserves what the working paper recorded, why the Atlas uses it, and its verification label. A verified identifier means it was resolved and correctly placed in the map—not that its argument is endorsed or that the field agrees with it.

FoundationalPrimary paper1985

Dine-Seiberg — the 1985 weak-coupling/large-volume observation

Journal
Phys. Lett. B 162 (1985) 299

Why this source is here — The original observation that string compactifications are controlled only asymptotically, which frames why any stabilized minimum is contested.

dS Vacua and the Swampland

Authors
Kallosh, Linde, McDonough, Scalisi
ID
arXiv:1901.02022

Why this source is here — A defence of KKLT against swampland objections, cited so the defenders’ strongest argument is represented in its own words.

The original de Sitter swampland conjecture

Authors
Obied, Ooguri, Spodyneiko, Vafa
ID
arXiv:1806.08362

Why this source is here — The paper that introduced the de Sitter swampland conjecture. Cited wherever the atlas states the conjecture.

The refined form of the de Sitter conjecture

Authors
Ooguri, Palti, Shiu, Vafa
ID
arXiv:1810.05506

Why this source is here — The refined form of the conjecture, cited for the Hessian condition that replaced the strict gradient bound.

Cosmological critique of the de Sitter conjecture

Authors
Akrami, Kallosh, Linde, Vardanyan
ID
arXiv:1808.09440

Why this source is here — The cosmological critique of the conjecture, cited so the landscape side of the objection is represented.

A warped-throat realization of the Dark Dimension

Authors
Blumenhagen, Brinkmann, Makridou
ID
arXiv:2208.01057

Why this source is here — A string-theoretic realization of the Dark Dimension, cited to show the scenario has been embedded in a construction.

VerifiedObservational or experimental result2018

Equation-of-state bounds on swampland quintessence

Authors
Heisenberg, Bartelmann, Brandenberger, Refregier
ID
arXiv:1808.02877

Why this source is here — Equation-of-state bounds constraining swampland quintessence, cited wherever the atlas refers to w near minus one.

VerifiedObservational or experimental result2023

News from the Swampland — constraining string theory with astrophysics and cosmology

Authors
Schöneberg, Vacher, Dias, Carvalho, Martins
ID
arXiv:2307.15060
Journal
JCAP 2023(10), 039; doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2023/10/039

Why this source is here — A data-side reassessment that runs against the expected direction, finding newer data allows slightly more freedom in the criteria. Cited so the atlas does not present the observational trend as one-way.

VerifiedPrimary paper2019

The AdS distance conjecture

Authors
Lüst, Palti, Vafa
ID
arXiv:1906.05225

Why this source is here — The AdS distance conjecture, cited as the premise the Dark Dimension scenario is built on.

The de Sitter Problem in the String Swampland: A Verified Literature Map (Revision 2)

Authors
Rajan, Mayone Maha (architect and curator)
Journal
Maha Strategies Research; Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21603961

Why this source is here — The working paper this atlas is derived from. Cited where a claim rests on the paper’s own framing of the field rather than on a physics result — most directly the statement that no consensus exists.
