Compactness of brane moduli and the String Lamppost Principle in d > 6

We demonstrate the validity of the String Lamppost Principle - that all consistent theories of quantum gravity are in the String Landscape - for supersymmetric theories in d > 6 using compactness and connectedness of the moduli space of small instantons, as well as the classification of the associated Coulomb branch.

Automated summary

In this study, we demonstrate the validity of the String Lamppost Principle for supersymmetric theories in d > 6, by using the compactness and connectedness of the moduli space of small instantons, as well as the classification of the associated Coulomb branch.
