Dualities from Swampland principles, Alek Bedroya, Yuta Hamada.

Abstract: We initiate the program of bottom-up derivation of string theory dualities using Swampland principles. In particular, we clarify the relation between Swampland arguments and all the string theory dualities in d≥9 dimensional supersymmetric theories. Our arguments center around the sharpened distance conjecture and rely on various other Swampland principles.
