We study the charge-to-mass ratios of BPS states in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravities arising from Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications of Type IIB string theory. We present a formula for the asymptotic charge-to-mass ratio valid for all limits in complex structure moduli space. This is achieved by using the sl(2)-structure that emerges in any such limit as described by asymptotic Hodge theory. The asymptotic charge-to-mass formula applies for sl(2)-elementary states that couple to the graviphoton asymptotically. Using this formula, we determine the radii of the ellipsoid that forms the extremality region of electric BPS black holes, which provides us with a general asymptotic bound on the charge-to-mass ratio for these theories. Finally, we comment on how these bounds for the Weak Gravity Conjecture relate to their counterparts in the asymptotic de Sitter Conjecture and Swampland Distance Conjecture.

    Hodge loci in Calabi-Yau sigma models are identified with non-trivial categories of topological defects preserving N=(2,2) SCA and invertible on spectral-flow generators, with CM structure at special points.

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Non-perturbative g_s corrections obstruct perturbative Type IIB descriptions and can remove classical infinite distance degenerations in asymptotic regions of the complex structure moduli space.
