Taxonomy of Infinite Distance Limits in Quantum Gravity Moduli Spaces

Explore the constraints imposed by the emergent string conjecture on light towers in infinite-distance limits within quantum gravity moduli spaces. Delve into a geometric classification of vertices, edges, and facets of a polytope to understand these constraints. Examine the scope, evidence, and applications of this classification as presented by Tom Rudelius in a 33-minute talk at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics. This presentation was part of the Thematic Programme on "The Landscape vs. the Swampland" held at ESI in July-August 2024, offering insights into the distance conjecture and its implications for quantum gravity.
