Explicit lattice computations in weighted Fermat hypersurfaces show symmetric self-dual Hodge classes typically overshoot M2-brane tadpole bounds due to Galois orbits, except at one high h^{1,1} point where the conjecture holds.

abstract
We study the properties of M and F theory compactifications to three and four dimensions with background fluxes. We provide a simple construction of supersymmetric vacua, including some with orientifold descriptions. These vacua, which have warp factors, typically have fewer moduli than conventional Calabi-Yau compactifications. The mechanism for anomaly cancellation in the orientifold models involves background RR and NS fluxes. We consider in detail an orientifold of $K3\times T^2$ with background fluxes. After a combination of T and S-dualities, this type IIB orientifold is mapped to a compactification of the SO(32) heterotic string on a non-Kahler space with torsion.

Proposes G2 torsion classes as a characterization tool for torsion and supersymmetry breaking in M-theory on deformed K3 fibrations, leading to non-supersymmetric 4D theories via reductions to Type 0A and heterotic strings.
Multi-field fibre inflation in perturbative LVS uses collective dynamics of several moduli to achieve viable cosmology with sub-Planckian individual field ranges given by total range divided by sqrt(n).
String theory imposes constraints on dark energy but permits various construction attempts for de Sitter vacua and single-field exponential quintessence models despite obstructions.
Lecture notes providing a technical introduction to naturalness problems and the string theory landscape for graduate students.
