U(1) mixing and the weak gravity conjecture

Abstract Tiny values for gauge couplings of dark photons allow to suppress their kinetic mixing with ordinary photons. We point out that the weak gravity conjecture predicts consequently low ultraviolet cut-offs where new degrees of freedom might appear. In particular, a mixing angle of $$\mathcal {...
