We discuss the problem of metastable SUSY breaking in the landscape. While this is clearly crucial for the various de Sitter proposals, it is also interesting to consider the SUSY breaking challenge in the AdS context. For example, it could be that a stronger form of the non-SUSY AdS conjecture holds: It would forbid even metastable non-SUSY AdS in cases where the SUSY-breaking scale is parametrically above/below the AdS scale. At the technical level, the present paper proposes to break SUSY using the multi-cosine-shaped axion potentials which arise if a long winding trajectory of a `complex-structure axion' appears in the large-complex-structure limit of a Calabi-Yau orientifold. This has been studied in the context of `Winding Inflation', but the potential for SUSY breaking has not been fully explored. We discuss the application to uplifting LVS vacua, point out the challenges which one faces in the KKLT context, and consider the possibility of violating the non-SUSY AdS conjecture in the type-IIA setting of DGKT.

  1. Dimensional Reduction and K\"ahler Metric for Metric Moduli in Imaginary Self-Dual Flux

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 10D supergravity reduction derives the 4D moduli space metric for Kähler moduli and, for the first time, for complex structure flat directions in warped type IIB flux compactifications.

  2. The String Theory Photoverse

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Massless string-theory hidden photons acquire dimension-six dipole couplings to SM fermions with suppression scale Λ = αM_s, converting dipole measurements into constraints on the string scale.

  3. Uplifts in the Penumbra: Features of the Moduli Potential away from Infinite-Distance Boundaries

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the crossover region between the moduli-space interior and strict asymptotic boundaries, the flux potential of one complex structure modulus admits de Sitter uplifting minima and axion valleys with flattened potentials.

  4. Synchronous Propagation of Periodic Signals in Feedforward Networks of Standard Model Neurons

    nlin.CD 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For FitzHugh-Nagumo, Morris-Lecar, Hodgkin-Huxley, and Hindmarsh-Rose neurons, periodic traveling-wave signals propagate stably along feedforward chains because transverse Floquet multipliers stay inside the unit circle.
