We show that the recently proposed weak gravity conjecture\cite{AMNV0601} can be extended to a class of scalar field theories. Taking gravity into account, we find an upper bound on the gravity interaction strength, expressed in terms of scalar coupling parameters. This conjecture is supported by some two-dimensional models and noncommutative field theories.

We consider the numerical solution of the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation on two-dimensional and three-dimensional unbounded spatial domains. Introduce an artificial boundary and find the exact and approximate artificial boundary conditions for the given problem, which lead to a bounded computational domain. Using the exact or approximating boundary conditions on the artificial boundary, the original problem is reduced to an initial-boundary-value problem on the bounded computational domain which is respectively equivalent to or approximates the original problem. Finite difference methods are used to solve the reduced problems on the bounded computational domain and the stability of these finite difference methods are proved. The numerical results demonstrate that the method given in this paper is effective and feasible.

In this paper, we derive estimates for scalar curvature type equations with more singular right hand side. As an application, we prove Donaldson's conjecture on the equivalence between geodesic stability and existence of cscK when $Aut_0(M,J)\neq0$. Moreover, we show that when $Aut_0(M,J)\neq0$, the properness of $K$-energy with respect to a suitably defined distance implies the existence of cscK.
