Abstract

Abstract: We view and provide further evidence for a number of swampland criteria, including the weak gravity conjecture, distance conjecture and bounds on the finiteness of the quantum gravity vacua from the prism of the finiteness of black hole entropy. Furthermore we propose that at least all of these swampland statements may be more fundamentally a consequence of the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes.
