AI总结:

本文综述了弱引力猜想及其变体,回顾了其在弦理论景观中的证据与定性和定量论证,并探讨了其对粒子物理、宇宙学、广义相对论和数学的意义及未来研究方向。

摘要:

弱引力猜想认为,在量子引力理论中,任何规范力对某些粒子介导的相互作用必须强于引力。这一陈述与物理学和数学的许多不同领域有着惊人深刻且广泛的联系。人们已提出了对基本猜想的若干变体,包括一些强得多的陈述,但它们仍被所有已知一致的量子引力理论所满足。我们回顾了这些相关猜想及其在弦理论景观中有效性的证据。我们还回顾了支持这些猜想的多种论证,它们往往分为两类:基于一般原理声称该猜想合理的定性论证,以及针对该猜想的各种特殊情况或类似情况的定量论证。我们还概述了这些猜想对粒子物理学、宇宙学、广义相对论和数学的意义。最后,我们强调了未来研究的重要方向。

英文摘要:

The Weak Gravity Conjecture holds that in a theory of quantum gravity, any gauge force must mediate interactions stronger than gravity for some particles. This statement has surprisingly deep and extensive connections to many different areas of physics and mathematics. Several variations on the basic conjecture have been proposed, including statements that are much stronger but are nonetheless satisfied by all known consistent quantum gravity theories. We review these related conjectures and the evidence for their validity in the string theory landscape. We also review a variety of arguments for these conjectures, which tend to fall into two categories: qualitative arguments which claim the conjecture is plausible based on general principles, and quantitative arguments for various special cases or analogues of the conjecture. We also outline the implications of these conjectures for particle physics, cosmology, general relativity, and mathematics. Finally, we highlight important directions for future research.
