The ``Swampland Program'' aims to discriminate consistent-looking effective field theories that do not admit a UV completion in quantum gravity from those that do. While most often developed under the umbrella of string theory, several swampland criteria have been explored also in other contexts, especially asymptotically safe gravity. A comparison between different approaches can help to clarify the dependence of low-energy constraints on UV physics and thereby shed light on the universality of quantum gravity itself. In this short review we summarise what is known about three important swampland conjectures in string theory and in asymptotic safety. We point out future lines of research that can help to understand to what extent swampland conjectures are absolute, i.e. hold in quantum gravity in general, or relative, i.e. belong only to a specific UV framework.

  1. The fermion sector of the SMEFT from asymptotically safe gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy model of one quark generation, asymptotically safe gravity predicts four-fermion SMEFT coefficients are either Planck-scale suppressed or zero, with exceptions only at very large gravitational coupling.

  2. All $2D$ generalised dilaton theories from $d\geq 4$ gravities

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Generic 2D Horndeski theories arise from dimensional reduction of d≥4 gravities, yielding a Birkhoff theorem for quasi-topological gravities where static spherically symmetric solutions satisfy g_tt g_rr = -1 and are ...

  3. Renormalization group flows in area-metric gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The first renormalization group analysis of area-metric gravity shows shape-mismatching masses grow toward the infrared, parity is not emergent, and the Immirzi parameter flow has fixed points at γ=0 and γ=∞.

  4. Non-invertible symmetries in the axiverse, and the imaginary wormholes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Imaginary wormholes and the IDB imply that towers of BPS EFT instantons generate infinitely many superpotential terms that break non-invertible axion shift symmetries in N=1 axiverse models.
