| Summary:

We discuss the interrelations between several ideas in quantum gravity —
holography, the Swampland, and the concept of ensemble averaging. To do so, we
study ensemble averages of Narain-type theories associated with general even
quadratic forms and their holographic duals. We establish the emergence of
global symmetries and discuss their consistency with conjectures forbidding
such symmetries. We also discuss how the spectral decomposition of Narain
partition functions suggests a natural embedding of ensemble averaging within
the low-energy limit of certain string compactifications, which in turn allows
a connection with the Swampland program.
