We study compactifications of $D$-dimensional de Sitter space with a $q$-form flux down to $D-Nq$ dimensions. We show that for $(N-1)(q-1)\geq 2$ there are double-exponentially or even infinitely many compact de Sitter vacua, and that their effective cosmological constants accumulate at zero. This population explosion of $\Lambda \ll 1$ de Sitters arises by a mechanism analogous to natural selection.

  1. Formation of Asymmetrical Two-Brane Structure and its Possible Manifestation

    hep-th 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    In a two-brane model, brane asymmetry produces different fermion masses, allowing superheavy leptons on the second brane to act as dark matter without fine-tuning.

    Reexamination of the SO(16)xSO(16)' nonsupersymmetric model for implications on dark energy, vacuum stabilization, dark matter candidates, and gauge-Higgs unification in light of LHC and dark energy data.
