SUMMARY:Dynamical field range and mass hierarchies\, Theory Seminar (H
 igh Energy/Cosmology)\, Aitor Landete\, University of Wisconsin-Madiso
 n
DESCRIPTION:Several swampland conjectures suggest that there is a crit
 ical field range beyond which the effective field theory description b
 reaks down in quantum gravity. In this talk we will review application
 s of these conjectures to axion monodromy models. We argue that the fi
 eld range of interest is the field space distance traced by the physic
 al trajectory that solves the equations of motion. A sufficiently larg
 e mass hierarchy can delay the breakdown of the effective field theory
  and allow simple techniques of moduli stabilization. In absence of su
 ch hierarchy multi-field techniques should be used. We illustrate thes
 e subtleties in Type II string compactifications.
