Trans-Planckian censorship conjecture from the swampland distance conjecture
Suddhasattwa Brahma
Abstract
Starting from the swampland distance conjecture, and using the species bound for a large number of weakly coupled particles, we give a derivation of the recently proposed trans-Planckian censorship conjecture. Our argument demonstrates how a quantum gravity principle requires that trans-Planckian quantum fluctuations should never cross the Hubble horizon. We also comment on how logarithmic corrections to the de Sitter conjecture arise naturally from such an approach when one relaxes the requirement of traversing parametrically large distances on field space.
