We show that one can uncover a Dine-Seiberg problem for de Sitter critical points in supergravity theories by utilizing the magnetic weak gravity conjecture. We present a large variety of N=2 gauged supergravity models that include vector multiplets and in all cases we find that the weak gravity conjecture threatens de Sitter. A common feature in all such examples is a degenerate mass matrix for the gravitini, which we therefore deem a swampland criterion for de Sitter critical points.

  1. Broken and restored: a holographic constraint for AdS vacua with orbifolds

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Holographic constraint on AdS vacua is violated for Z2 orbifolds but restored by non-abelian extensions, implying O-planes cannot wrap cycles in distinct homology classes.

  2. A note on the holographic consistency of DGKT-type vacua with $h^{2,1}=0$

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Cancellations that satisfy a holographic three-point function constraint in DGKT vacua persist across examples with h^{2,1}=0 and more complicated triple-intersection numbers.
