It has recently been conjectured that string theory does not admit de Sitter critical points. This note points out that in several cases, including KKLT or racetrack models, this statement is equivalent to the absence of supersymmetric Minkowski or AdS solutions. This equivalence arises from establishing the positivity of the potential in a large-radius limit, requiring a turnover of the potential before reaching an AdS vacuum. For example, this conjecture is incompatible with the simplest 1-modulus KKLT AdS supersymmetric solution.

  1. Eternal Inflation in Swampy Landscapes

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Eternal inflation persists in landscapes where de Sitter vacua are rare or absent, via flyover transitions between isolated dS vacua or inflating bubble walls nucleated around saddle points.

  2. Dark energy from string theory: an introductory review

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    String theory imposes constraints on dark energy but permits various construction attempts for de Sitter vacua and single-field exponential quintessence models despite obstructions.
