abstract
Hidden sector D7-branes with non-zero gauge flux are a generic feature of type IIB compactifications. A non-vanishing Fayet-Iliopoulos term induced by non-zero gauge flux leads to a T-brane configuration. Expanding the D7-brane action around this T-brane background in the presence of three-form supersymmetry breaking fluxes, we obtain a positive definite contribution to the moduli scalar potential which can be used as an uplifting source for de Sitter vacua. In this way we provide a higher-dimensional understanding of known 4D mechanisms of de Sitter uplifting based on hidden sector F-terms which are non-zero because of D-term stabilisation.

A database scan identifies 2+14+45 Calabi-Yau threefolds with specified fibration and divisor structures that unify three LVS Kähler moduli inflation models.
A perturbative stabilization mechanism in the Large Volume Scenario for K3-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds generates exponentially large 2D base volumes while keeping the 4D fibre small, enabling ADD or Dark Dimension limits with possible dS or quintessence vacua.
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).
Generic string-loop corrections to the Kähler potential replace near-minimum slow-roll in LVS blow-up inflation with a power-law plateau at larger fields, yielding higher r still consistent with current CMB/BAO data.
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.
