Proposes a refinement of the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture for duality groups, arguing that diverging commutator widths necessitate infinitely many duality defects to realize monodromies in 9d supergravity bordisms.
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.
Axionic string tensions define vector fields on moduli space that split into mutually orthogonal subsets with one decoupling from gravity, and their Laplacian relates to divergent moduli space curvature.
Hořava-Witten theory offers a potential string embedding of the dark dimension by localizing the Standard Model on the 11th interval, with symmetric tadpole cancellation and an infinite-distance limit helping derive the scalar potential and couplings from Schwinger integrals.

Towards the Realization of the Dark Dimension Scenario in Ho\v{r}ava-Witten Theory
Hořava-Witten theory offers a potential string embedding of the dark dimension by localizing the Standard Model on the 11th interval, with symmetric tadpole cancellation and an infinite-distance limit helping derive the scalar potential and couplings from Schwinger integrals.
