Abstract
We propose a generalisation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture in de Sitter space by studying charged black-holes and comparing the gravitational and an abelian gauge forces. Using the same condition as in flat space, namely the absence of black-hole remnants, one finds that for a given mass there should be a state with a charge bigger than a minimal value , depending on the mass and the de Sitter radius , in Planck units. In the large radius flat space limit (large ), leading to the known result , while in the highly curved case (small ) behaves as . We also discuss the example of the gauged R-symmetry in supergravity.
