Description
The Tadpole Conjecture puts sever constraints on the stabilization of a large number of moduli by claiming that in such settings the flux contribution to the tadpole grows at least linearly with the number of stabilized fields. In this talk we present the first conceptual argument that explains this linear scaling setting and clarifies why it sets in only for a large number of stabilized moduli. This is done in the strict asymptotic limits of moduli space, by using the tools of asymptotic Hodge theory, which make possible an explicit discussion of moduli stabilization and allow us to establish the relevant scaling constraints for the tadpole.
