Abstract:
We extend the swampland from effective field theories (EFTs) inconsistent with quantum gravity to EFTs inconsistent with quantum supergravity. This enlarges the swampland to include EFTs that become inconsistent when the gravitino is quantized. We propose the "gravitino swampland conjecture": the gravitino sound speed must be nonvanishing in all EFTs that are low-energy limits of quantum supergravity. This seemingly simple statement has important consequences for both theories and observations. The conjecture is consistent with and supported by the Kachru-Kallosh-Linde-Trivedi and large volume scenarios for moduli stabilization in string theory.
