abstract

We study the large volume limit of the scalar potential in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications of type IIB string theory. Under general circumstances there exists a limit in which the potential approaches zero from below, with an associated non-supersymmetric AdS minimum at exponentially large volume. Both this and its de Sitter uplift are tachyon-free, thereby fixing all Kahler and complex structure moduli, which has been difficult to achieve in the KKLT scenario. Also, for the class of vacua described in this paper, the gravitino mass is independent of the flux discretuum, whereas the ratio of the string scale to the 4d Planck scale is hierarchically small but flux dependent. The inclusion of alpha' corrections plays a crucial role in the structure of the potential. We illustrate these ideas through explicit computations for a particular Calabi-Yau manifold.

Chiral global embedding of Fibre Inflation with $\overline{\rm D3}$ uplift

hep-th · 2024-12-11 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Explicit construction of a chiral global embedding of Fibre Inflation with anti-D3 uplift on an h^{1,1}=4 K3-fibered Calabi-Yau, using magnetised D7-branes, a Whitney brane, and O3-planes at a conifold tip, with viable parameter regions identified.

Axions on de Sitter space

hep-th · 2026-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quantization of axions on dS_D yields Hilbert space H = L^2(S^1) ⊗ F with zero-mode U(1) charge, producing non-dS-invariant charged sectors and Hadamard Wightman functions that become asymptotically invariant.

Small Vacuum Energy and Tunneling in a Modified Bousso-Polchinski Model

hep-th · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In a wafer-modified Bousso-Polchinski model, 99.95% of the 532 million Calabi-Yau fourfold configurations in the Schöller-Skarke database allow vacuum energy spacings of 10^{-120} or smaller, with membrane nucleation transitions dominated by giant flux leaps under thin-wall approximations.

Some Properties and Uses of the Species Scale

hep-th · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The Species Scale implies Laplace eigenvalue equations for BPS-protected Wilson coefficients and produces a one-loop moduli potential with minima at desert points that may stabilize Kähler moduli in 4d Type IIB orientifolds.

de Sitter in String Theory vs. Gibbons & Hawking

hep-th · 2026-04-28 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Perturbative string theory forbids de Sitter times closed manifold solutions under the assumption that the Euclidean sphere partition function receives a nonzero 1/G_N contribution.

Assisted Fibre Inflation in Perturbative LVS

hep-th · 2025-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

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).

On Global Embedding of Assisted Fibre Inflation

hep-th · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Assisted multi-fibre inflation distributes the required field range across several moduli in global CY orientifolds, overcoming single-field Kähler cone obstructions to realize viable inflation.

What to do with a Ricci-flat Calabi--Yau metric?

hep-th · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

A roadmap paper describing potential applications of numerical Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau metrics to heterotic string phenomenology and mathematical questions in special geometry.

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.
