The Swampland distance conjecture
The Distance Conjecture plays a key role in the Swampland program, which aims to determine the constraints that effective field theories must satisfy to be consistent with quantum gravity. The conjecture implies the existence of an infinite tower of states becoming exponentially light at every infinite distance limit of the field space. I will review past and recent progress checking this conjecture in string theory, as well as its relation to the Emergence proposal.
