abstract

We review recent work in which compactifications of string and M theory are constructed in which all scalar fields (moduli) are massive, and supersymmetry is broken with a small positive cosmological constant, features needed to reproduce real world physics. We explain how this work implies that there is a ``landscape'' of string/M theory vacua, perhaps containing many candidates for describing real world physics, and present the arguments for and against this idea. We discuss statistical surveys of the landscape, and the prospects for testable consequences of this picture, such as observable effects of moduli, constraints on early cosmology, and predictions for the scale of supersymmetry breaking.

F-theory flux vacua at large complex structure

hep-th · 2021-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

At large complex structure in F-theory, the F-term potential simplifies to V = Z^{AB} ρ_A ρ_B, yielding two families of flux vacua with all complex structure moduli fixed, one with bounded saxion vevs and one with unbounded vevs where N_flux factors into two integers.

String Axiverse

hep-th · 2009-05-28 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

String theory predicts an axiverse of ultralight axions whose effects on CMB polarization, matter power spectrum, and black hole superradiance can be probed by future astrophysical experiments.

Stochastic Survival near Swampland Boundaries

hep-th · 2026-06-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A stochastic survival framework maps swampland control data to conditioned drifts for moduli histories near boundaries via the Doob transform, yielding a universal inward wall response near regular hard boundaries.

Kaleidoscopes, Waves and the Prepotential

hep-th · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Coxeter symmetries from isomorphic flops in Kähler-favorable CICYs make the 4D N=2 prepotential solve the Helmholtz equation on the moduli space, enabling resummed expressions from worldsheet instantons.

Dark energy from string theory: an introductory review

hep-th · 2026-03-26 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

String theory imposes constraints on dark energy but permits various construction attempts for de Sitter vacua and single-field exponential quintessence models despite obstructions.
