Abstract
In this article, we prove that for all five-dimensional supergravities arising from M theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold, points of vanishing gauge coupling lie at infinite distance in the moduli space. Conversely, any point at infinite distance in the vector multiplet moduli space is a point of vanishing gauge coupling. This agrees with expectations from the tower/sublattice weak gravity conjecture, the swampland distance conjecture, and the emergence proposal.
