Swampland Constraints on 5d mathcal{N}=1 Supergravity
read the original abstract
We propose Swampland constraints on consistent 5-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity theories. We focus on a special class of BPS magnetic monopole strings which arise in gravitational theories. The central charges and the levels of current algebras of 2d CFTs on these strings can be calculated by anomaly inflow mechanism and used to provide constraints on the low-energy particle spectrum and the effective action of the 5d supergravity based on unitarity of the worldsheet CFT. In M-theory, where these theories are realized by compactification on Calabi-Yau 3-folds, the special monopole strings arise from wrapped M5-branes on special ("semi-ample") 4-cycles in the threefold. We identify various necessary geometric conditions for such cycles to lead to requisite BPS strings and translate these into constraints on the low-energy theories of gravity. These and other geometric conditions, some of which can be related to unitarity constraints on the monopole worldsheet, are additional candidates for Swampland constraints on 5-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity theories.

EFT (String) Tower Building
Assuming the Integral Scaling Relation and the Emergent String Conjecture, the Kähler potential fixes the UV tower spectrum, and every admissible degree-≤7 tower polytope is a slice of the M-theory G2 polytope.

Tame Complexity of Effective Field Theories in the Quantum Gravity Landscape
Effective field theories consistent with quantum gravity are conjectured to have uniformly bounded 'tame complexity', a quantitative measure of the information needed to specify them.

Moduli-Space Laplacians, Asymptotic Geometry, and the Emergent String Conjecture
Under the Emergent String Conjecture, the logarithm of any principal tower mass has a moduli-space Laplacian eigenvalue quantized to N/(D-d) for KK towers and N/2 for string oscillators, equal to the instanton-weighte...

On BPS Branes
The paper defines cones C_BPS-B and C_BPS-BB for BPS branes in supergravity and conjectures that states in C_BPS-BB are realized as BPS states with C_BPS-B as their electric-magnetic dual when moduli-independent.

On Quantum Obstructions in Type IIA Orientifolds
Quantum corrections obstruct infinite distance limits in Type IIA orientifold Kähler moduli unless other moduli are also taken to infinity, as shown by worldsheet EFT strings, massless towers, and M-theory G2 uplifts.

Bounds on Discrete Gauge Symmetries in Supergravity
Upper bounds are placed on the order of enhanced discrete gauge symmetries in supersymmetric supergravity theories with 8 or more supercharges, with some bounds saturated by string theory examples.
