The LVS parametric tadpole constraint
The large volume scenario (LVS) for de Sitter compactifications of the type IIB string is, at least in principle, well protected from various unknown corrections. The reason is that, by construction, the Calabi-Yau volume is exponentially large. However,

We examine the mechanism of moduli stabilization by fluxes in the limit of a large number of moduli. We conjecture that one cannot stabilize all complex-structure moduli in F-theory at a generic point in moduli space (away from singularities) by fluxes ...

A universal tachyon in nearly no-scale de Sitter compactifications
We investigate de Sitter solutions of N=1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ supergravity with an F-term scalar potential near a no-scale Minkowski point, as they may in particular arise from flux compactifications in string theory.

Supersymmetric dS4 solutions in D = 11 supergravity
The necessary and sufficient conditions for warped product dS4 solutions in D = 11 supergravity to be supersymmetric are determined. The Killing spinor is associated with two possible stabilizer groups, SU(3) and G2.

In 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.

Tachyons and Misaligned Supersymmetry in orientifold vacua
We extend the analysis of Misaligned Supersymmetry to orientifold vacua. The lack of modular invariance in the Klein bottle, annulus and Möbius strip amplitudes implies that the IR properties of the physical spectrum are related to the UV behaviour of ...

Dark Dimension With (Little) Strings Attached
Abstract A relation between dark energy and the scale of new physics in weakly coupled string theory is motivated. This mixing between infrared and ultraviolet physics leads to a unique corner for real‐world phenomenology: barring fine‐tunings, the authors are naturally led to the “dark dimension” scenario, a single mesoscopic extra dimension of micron

De Sitter vacua in no-scale supergravity
No-scale supergravity is the appropriate general framework for low-energy effective field theories derived from string theory. The simplest no-scale Kähler potential with a single chiral field corresponds to a compactification to flat Minkowski space ...

Sharpening the boundaries between flux landscape and swampland by tadpole charge
We investigate the vacuum structure of four-dimensional effective theory arising from Type IIB flux compactifications on a mirror of the rigid Calabi-Yau threefold, corresponding to a T-dual of the DeWolfe-Giryavets-Kachru-Taylor model in Type IIA flux ...

Band Tailoring Enabled Perovskite Devices for X‐Ray to Near‐Infrared Photodetection
Perovskite‐based photodetectors are improved for wide‐spectrum detection X‐rays to near‐infrared using a type‐II heterojunction with tellurium. This design reduces dark current noise and enhances sensitivity, with a scalable sensor array showing promise for imaging applications.
