*“Festina Lente and Branes"*


_Abstract_

Extended objects are ubiquitous in string theory where they have special 
properties. Outside of string theory, there are relatively few insights 
into the nature of extended objects that are allowed by quantum gravity. 
In this talk, using the Festina Lente conjecture, I will argue for new 
universal bounds on the tension of branes coupled to gauge fields in de 
Sitter space. This bound is implied by cosmic censorship and can be 
derived by studying the evolution of large charged black holes in de 
Sitter space. Since this is a bottom-up argument, it should be obeyed by 
any de Sitter quantum gravity including stringy constructions.
