The Cosmological Constant and the String Landscape
read the original abstract
Theories of the cosmological constant fall into two classes, those in which the vacuum energy is fixed by the fundamental theory and those in which it is adjustable in some way. For each class we discuss key challenges. The string theory landscape is an example of an adjustment mechanism. We discuss the status of this idea, and future directions.

String Axiverse
String theory predicts an axiverse of ultralight axions whose effects on CMB polarization, matter power spectrum, and black hole superradiance can be probed by future astrophysical experiments.

A Lapse in the Cosmological Constant Problem
A lapse function in a 5D anisotropic gravity theory generates a global constraint that cancels Standard Model vacuum energy radiative corrections at all orders in the 4D effective theory.

Natural SUSY with mixed axion/axino dark matter
Natural SUSY with axino LSP allows viable mixed axion-axino dark matter matching the observed abundance for axino masses near 100 keV and PQ scales of 10^11 to 3x10^12 GeV in DFSZ and KSVZ models.
