Tackling the SDC in AdS with CFTs

Abstract We study the Swampland Distance Conjecture for supersymmetric theories with AdS5 backgrounds and fixed radius through their N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 SCFT holographic duals. By the Maldacena-Zhiboedov theorem, around a large class of infinite-distance points there must exist a tower of expone...
