What if string theory has no de Sitter vacua

Ulf H. Danielsson, +1 more
- 03 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: A brief overview of attempts to construct de Sitter vacua in string theory can be found in this paper, where the results of this 20-year endeavor could point to the fact that string theory harbors no de Satter vacua.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards classical de Sitter solutions in string theory

Ulf H. Danielsson, +5 more
- 25 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the type II string effective potential at tree-level for de Sitter critical points in orientifold models with fluxes, and derived necessary ingredients for having deSitter solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smeared versus localised sources in flux compactifications

Johan Blåbäck, +7 more
- 09 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether vacuum solutions in flux compactifications that are obtained with smeared sources (orientifolds or D-branes) still survive when the sources are localised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimal Simple de Sitter Solutions

Sheikh Shajidul Haque, +5 more
- 07 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the minimal set of necessary ingredients to construct explicit, four-dimensional de Sitter solutions from IIA string theory at tree level are O6-planes, nonzero Romans mass parameter, form fluxes, and negative internal curvature.
Journal ArticleDOI
