Title:
Distances Conjectures and Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter

Speaker:
Dieter Luest

Abstract:
Distance conjectures predict a light tower of states near the boundary of moduli space in string compactifications. It was argues that this should be also the case in the limit of a small cosmological constant in quantum gravity and in string theory. In my talk, I will introduce the distance conjectures and I will further discuss that within the recently introduced dark universe scenario, where a micron-size extra dimension is related to the size of the cosmological, primordial black holes are viable dark matter candidates.
