SUMMARY:Deriving the WGC from holographic entanglement entropy\, Theor
 y Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Miguel Montero\, KU Leuven
DESCRIPTION:The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is a proposed constraint
  on effective field theories that can be consistently coupled to quant
 um gravity\, requiring the presence of superextremal particles. This p
 articles allow extremal black holes to decay\, but so far the relation
 ship has only been understood heuristically. I will explain how this c
 onnection can be made precise\, in the context of asymptotically AdS q
 uantum gravity: The black hole must be allowed to decay to comply with
  quantum information theorems in the dual CFT. I will discuss the conn
 ection to the ER=EPR proposal and how this avenue can lead to new Swam
 pland constraints.
