Description
The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) can be obtained in flat space-time from the condition of existence of horizons for Reissner-Nordström black holes. I plan to report on the conditions for the existence and location of horizons for some black hole solutions arising in Einstein-Maxwell dilaton theories with non-trivial dilaton potential, and comment on implications for the extension of the WGC to the corresponding theories.
