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 review various aspects of de Sitter spacetime in string theory: its status as an Effective
Field Theory spacetime solution, its relation to the vacuum energy problem in string theory …

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

A bstract Demanding that charged Nariai black holes in (quasi-) de Sitter space decay
without becoming super-extremal implies a lower bound on the masses of charged particles …

The precision cosmological model describing the origin and expansion history of the
universe, with observed structure seeded at the inflationary cosmic horizon, demands …

A bstract Some of the most well-celebrated constructions of metastable de Sitter vacua from
string theory, such as the KKLT proposal, involve the interplay of gaugino condensation on a …

A bstract We consider α′ 2 curvature corrections to the action of an NS5-brane which plays
the key role in the metastability analysis of warped anti-D3-brane uplifts by Kachru, Pearson …

A bstract We analyze the structure of gaugino interactions on D7-branes from a 10d
perspective. This is essential if one wants to lift the standard 4d approach to type IIB moduli …
