We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

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 …

The past two decades have seen transformative advances in cosmology and string theory.
Observations of the cosmic microwave background have revealed strong evidence for …

We study the large volume limit of the scalar potential in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications of
type IIB string theory. Under general circumstances there exists a limit in which the potential …

Recent work is reviewed in which compactifications of string and M theory are constructed in
which all scalar fields (moduli) are massive, and supersymmetry is broken with a small …

We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic
ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed-string fluxes in type-II …

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 present an explicit calculation of the spectrum of a general class of string models,
corresponding to Calabi-Yau flux compactifications with h 1, 2> h 1, 1> 1 with leading …
