A bstractIn this note we revisit some of the recent 10d and 4d arguments suggesting that the uplifting of supersymmetric AdS vacua leads to a flattening of the potential, preventing the formation of dS vacua. We explain why the corresponding 10d approach is inconclusive and requires considerable modifications. We also show that while the flattening effects may occur for some extreme values of the parameters, they do not prevent the formation of dS vacua within the range of validity of the 4d…
Classical dS solutions in 3d without tachyons

We continue the study of compactifications of massive IIA supergravity on G2 orientifolds and demonstrate that breaking supersymmetry with anti-D2 and anti-D6 sources leads to 3d theories for which
How a four-dimensional de Sitter solution remains outside the swampland

Abstract We argue that, in the presence of time-dependent fluxes and quantum corrections, four-dimensional de Sitter solutions should appear in the type IIB string landscape and not in the

The much discussed swampland conjectures suggest significant constraints on the properties of string theory landscape and on the nature of the multiverse that this landscape can support. The

A 10d view on the KKLT AdS vacuum and uplifting
• Physics
• 2019
We analyse the ten-dimensional Einstein equations in the KKLT setting. We verify that the quartic gaugino term is needed to remove singularities in the on-shell action as suggested by Hamada et al.
Purely nonperturbative AdS vacua and the swampland

In recent times, a considerable effort has been dedicated to identify certain conditions – the so-called swampland conjectures – with an eye on identifying effective theories which have no consistent
De Sitter decay through goldstino evaporation

We study supergravity theories with supersymmetry intrinsically non-linearly realized supported only by four-form flux. We demonstrate that supersymmetry can be restored by the evaporation of the
