The Swampland program aims to distinguish effective theories which can be completed into
quantum gravity in the ultraviolet from those which cannot. This article forms an introduction …

These lecture notes provide a pedagogical introduction, with exercises, to the techniques
used in attempts to construct vacua with stabilized moduli in string theory. The reader is only …

We present a brief overview of attempts to construct de Sitter vacua in string theory and
explain how the results of this 20-year endeavor could point to the fact that string theory …

A bstract We construct supersymmetric AdS 4 vacua of type IIB string theory in
compactifications on orientifolds of Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces. We first find explicit …

Double field theory (DFT) is a proposal to incorporate T-duality, a distinctive symmetry of
string theory, as a symmetry of a field theory defined on a double configuration space. The …

We give an overview of moduli stabilization in compactifications of string theory. We
summarize current methods for construction and analysis of vacua with stabilized moduli …

We analyze to which extent the KKLT proposal for the construction of de Sitter vacua in
string theory is quantitatively controlled. Our focus is on the quality of the 10d supergravity …

We elaborate on the recent work of Moritz et al. where it is argued that anti‐brane uplifting in
KKLT models never leads to dS vacua. This is due to flattening effects in the effective …

Using a 10D lift of nonperturbative volume stabilization in type IIB string theory, we study the
limitations for obtaining de Sitter vacua. Based on this we find that the simplest Kachru …
