DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/AnLy/41/">A 
 Proof of the Weak Gravity Conjecture in Perturbative Bosonic String Theory
 </a>\nby Benjamin J. Heindenreich (UMass Amherst) as part of AnLy Strings 
 and Fields online seminars\n\n\nAbstract\nI present a complete proof of th
 e Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) in perturbative\, bosonic string theory\, 
 completing several partial arguments given in past literature. The proof l
 everages modular invariance\, long-range forces\, and their connection to 
 extremal black holes. Along the way\, I discuss several variants of the WG
 C that play a role in the proof. I conclude by previewing the extension of
  the proof to perturbative superstrings\, which is work in progress.\n
