Description
The Swampland Program provides tools that can improve our understanding of quantum gravity, including non-supersymmetric string theories. The Cobordism Conjecture does not rely on the presence of supersymmetry, and serves as a guiding principle towards identifying new objects, which are defects closing off the spacetime. In this talk, I will introduce the framework of dynamical cobordism and will explain how it can be used to extract an explicit description of cobordism-predicted end-of-the-world (ETW) branes.
