Discrete symmetries, weak coupling conjecture and scale separation in AdS vacua

Abstract We argue that in theories of quantum gravity with discrete gauge symmetries, e.g. Z k , the gauge couplings of U(1) gauge symmetries become weak in the limit of large k, as g → k −α with α a positive order 1 coefficient. The conjecture is based on black hole arguments combined with the Weak...
