Discrete gauge symmetries and the weak gravity conjecture

Abstract In theories with discrete Abelian gauge groups, requiring that black holes be able to lose their charge as they evaporate leads to an upper bound on the product of a charged particle’s mass and the cutoff scale above which the effective description of the theory breaks down. This suggests t...
