Gaugino Condensation and Nonperturbative Superpotentials in Flux Compactifications (2004, background): “Instead, recent attempts to understand moduli stabilization have yielded mounting evidence that after including perturbative and nonperturbative contributions to the moduli potential, string theory manifests a tremendous landscape of vacua, including 4d (metastable) de Sitter and anti-de Sitter geom”
Enumerating flux vacua with enhanced symmetries (2004, background): “Similar mechanisms have been proposed in the other corners of the M-theory parameter space including the 11d limit [16], the heterotic theory [17], the IIA theory [18], and supercritical string theory [19].”
De Sitter vs Quintessence in String Theory (2018, background): “• Non-critical strings [127]: Non-critical strings have a natural positive cosmological term (for D > 10) that can be used to obtain dS upon compactification while fixing the moduli.”
Simple de Sitter solutions (2007, background): “Although some of the previously outlined de Sitter constructions use only such power law forces [3,6], none attain the explicit simplicity of the known AdS4 models.”
What if string theory has no de Sitter vacua? (2018, background): “ct models. Second, we divide the constructions into critical versus non-critical string theory. Historically the rst attempts to construct dS solutions were in fact made in non-critical string theory [32,33]3. The main idea here is that the eective action (in string frame) now gets an extra contribu”
Towards inflation in string theory (2003, background): “It is also possible to find de Sitter solutions in noncritical string theory [56].”
Predictive Landscapes and New Physics at a TeV (2005, background): “This hypothesis has recently been gaining momentum because of gathering theoretical evidence that there is a vast “landscape” of vacua in string theory [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13], each with different low-energy theories and parameters.”

The Landscape, the Swampland and the Era of Precision Cosmology (2018, methodology): “De Sitter vacua in noncritical string theory were studied earlier in [3, 4].”
Fixing all moduli in a simple f-theory compactification (2005, background): “More recently, it has been emphasized that such potentials can have a very large number of minima, which combined with other choices made in the constructions gives rise to an immense ‘landscape’ of string vacua [22,77,1,65,96,43].”
