Hierarchies from fluxes in string compactifications
TLDR
In this article, the authors show that the hierarchy of scales can be fixed by a choice of Ramond-Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz fluxes in the compact manifold, and give examples involving orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory and F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau fourfolds.Abstract:
Warped compactifications with significant warping provide one of the few known mechanisms for naturally generating large hierarchies of physical scales. We demonstrate that this mechanism is realizable in string theory, and give examples involving orientifold compactifications of type-IIB string theory and F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau fourfolds. In each case, the hierarchy of scales is fixed by a choice of Ramond-Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz fluxes in the compact manifold. Our solutions involve compactifications of the Klebanov-Strassler gravity dual to a confining $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory, and the hierarchy reflects the small scale of chiral symmetry breaking in the dual gauge theory.read more

Accelerated universes from type IIA compactifications
TL;DR: In this article, slow-roll accelerating cosmologies arising from geometric compactifications of type IIA string theory on T{sup 6}/(Zsub 2} × Zsub 2) were studied, and a genetic algorithm was used to find quasi-de Sitter backgrounds with both slowroll parameters of order 0.1.

Dual Purpose Landscaping Tools: Small Extra Dimensions in AdS/CFT
TL;DR: In this paper, a class of AdS/CFT dual pairs with small internal dimensions on the gravity side was proposed, where 7-branes were used to nearly cancel the curvature energy of the internal dimensions while maintaining their stabilization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the T-dual constructions of supersymmetric intersecting D6-models on Z 2 × Z 2 orientifolds, whose electroweak sector is parallel with the orientifold planes with Sp (2 f ) L × Sp ( 2 f ) R gauge symmetry, were derived and classified, which may lead, via gaugino condensation, to stabilization of toroidal Kahler moduli.

The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the large-N limits of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes, spheres, and other compact manifolds.

Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension
TL;DR: In this paper, the weak scale is generated from the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy, but this exponential arises not from gauge interactions but from the background metric, which is a slice of spacetime.
