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

Moduli stabilization with positive vacuum energy
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of anomalous U(1) gauge groups in string theory compactification with fluxes was studied and it was shown that consistent AdS vacua appear breaking spontaneously supergravity.

de Sitter Vacua from Ten Dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the de Sitter construction of KCLT was analyzed using ten-dimensional supergravity, finding exact agreement with the four-dimensional effective theory, and it was shown that the ten dimensional equations of motion require the fourdimensional curvature to take precisely the value determined by the four dimensional effective theory.

No classical (anti-)de Sitter solutions with O8-planes
Niccolò Cribiori,Daniel Junghans +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that classical de Sitter solutions with O8-planes as the only localized sources are incompatible with the integrated supergravity equations of motion, analogously to the no-go theorem due to Maldacena and Nunez.

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.

An Alternative to compactification
TL;DR: In this paper, a single 3-brane embedded in five dimensions was shown to reproduce four-dimensional Newtonian and general relativistic gravity to more than adequate precision, even without a gap in the Kaluza-Klein spectrum.

Supergravity and a confining gauge theory: duality cascades and χSB-resolution of naked singularities
TL;DR: In this article, a non-singular pure-supergravity background dual to the field theory on all scales, with small curvature everywhere if the ‘t Hooft coupling gsM is large, was proposed.
