Isolated critical points of the potential are located in Scherk-Schwarz M-theory compactifications to d=8,6,5,4 by fixed points under unbroken duality groups, plus a conjectured duality-covariant anomaly cancellation condition for Z_N orbifolds.
Chiral simple current extensions on the worldsheet reproduce and generalize obstructions to gauging center one-form symmetries in 6d and 8d string compactifications while clarifying BPS particle requirements upon circle reduction.
Dai-Freed anomalies for chiral fermion actions in heterotic asymmetric orbifolds recover the level-matching constraints plus mod-2 conditions for even m.
Upper bounds are placed on the order of enhanced discrete gauge symmetries in supersymmetric supergravity theories with 8 or more supercharges, with some bounds saturated by string theory examples.
String theory imposes constraints on dark energy but permits various construction attempts for de Sitter vacua and single-field exponential quintessence models despite obstructions.
