Title: The Dark Dimension and the Grand Unification of Forces

Abstract:

We consider the realization of Grand Unification of Forces in the context of the Dark Dimension Scenario.  After a brief review of this scenario, which resulted from applying various Swampland principles to the dark energy, we explain why the mere assumption of the existence of the grand unification of forces combined with quantum gravity constraints, leads to connecting the weak scale with the GUT scale and results in specific experimental predictions, accessible in the 10 TeV range.
