We view and provide further evidence for a number of Swampland criteria, including the Weak Gravity Conjecture, Distance Conjecture and bounds on the finiteness of the quantum gravity vacua from the prism of the finiteness of black hole entropy. Furthermore we propose that at least all of these Swampland statements may be more fundamentally a consequence of the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes.

  1. 6d Supergravity Blocks

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Any consistent 6d (1,0) supergravity is assembled by gluing supergravity blocks (one H-string LST plus positively intersecting external tensors whose Gram matrix has one positive eigenvalue) and enhancing gauges; non-...

  2. Tame Complexity of Effective Field Theories in the Quantum Gravity Landscape

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0

    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.

  3. An M-theory dS maximum from Casimir energies on Riemann-flat manifolds

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Explicit scale-separated dS5 maximum in M-theory on a 6D Riemann-flat manifold with vacuum energy 10^{-8} in Planck units, obtained via Casimir energies and fluxes.

  4. Moduli-Space Laplacians, Asymptotic Geometry, and the Emergent String Conjecture

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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...

  5. Wormholes as red herrings: reflection positivity and the reconstruction of unitary quantum field theories

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Unitary QFTs are determined up to unitary isomorphism by closed-manifold partition functions; every reflection-positive partition function comes from a unitary QFT, so spatial wormholes do not break Hilbert-space fact...

  6. EFTs with Symmetric Moduli Spaces: the Landscape and the Swampland

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Using weight polytopes of irreducible representations, a finite list of symmetric moduli spaces satisfies the SDC decay rates; most embed from an E8(8) EFT but three cannot be obtained from string or M-theory compacti...

  7. Moduli Space Quantum Mechanics

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0

    Moduli-space geometry induces effective potentials that localize excited quantum wavefunctions in the bulk with positive energies, even for classically runaway potentials.

  8. Bounds on Discrete Gauge Symmetries in Supergravity

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  9. Instabilities in scale-separated Casimir vacua

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Casimir-stabilized AdS vacua with parametric scale separation in supergravity exhibit perturbative and non-perturbative instabilities under deformations.

  10. Rethinking quantum information in gravity and fields

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    The paper organizes important open questions in quantum gravity and quantum information into four themes without presenting new results or derivations.
