For open FLRW universes in two-scalar exponential-potential models from 10d IIA supergravity, the late-time attractor sets the effective exponent to the shortest vector to the convex hull of potential exponents, giving small g_s and alpha' corrections and scale separation in most models.

abstract
Recently it was observed that the hyperbolic compactification of M/string theory related to S-branes may lead to a transient period of acceleration of the universe. We study time evolution of the corresponding effective 4d cosmological model supplemented by cold dark matter and show that it is marginally possible to describe observational data for the late-time cosmic acceleration in this model. However, investigation of the compactification 11d -> 4d suggests that the Compton wavelengths of the KK modes in this model are of the same order as the size of the observable part of the universe. Assuming that this problem, as well as several other problems of this scenario, can be resolved, we propose a possible solution of the cosmological coincidence problem due to relation between the dark energy density and the effective dimensionality of the universe.
