Description
The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) has recently received much attention for its potential applications to models of large field inflation. Unfortunately, generic motivations behind the WGC remain somewhat weak. In this talk, I will discuss suggestive arguments hinting at the WGC in two different contexts: extremal black holes in Einstein-Maxwell theories, and 'axionic black holes' in theories with a massless two-form field.
