Abstract
In this note, 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.
