New Coordinates for de Sitter Space and de Sitter Radiation
We introduce a simple coordinate system covering half of de Sitter space. The new coordinates have several attractive properties: the time direction is a Killing vector, the metric is smooth at the horizon, and constant-time slices are just flat Euclidean space. We demonstrate the usefulness of the coordinates by calculating the rate at which particles tunnel across the horizon. When self-gravi...
متن کاملA New Handle on de Sitter Compactifications
We construct a large new class of de Sitter (and anti de Sitter) vacua of critical string theory from flux compactifications on products of Riemann surfaces. In the construction, the leading effects stabilizing the moduli are perturbative. We show that these effects self-consistently dominate over standard estimates for further α and quantum corrections, via tuning available from large flux and...
متن کاملTunneling Constraints on Effective Theories of Stable de Sitter Space
We argue that effective field theories compatible with the idea of Cosmological SUSY Breaking (CSB), can have no supersymmetric vacuum states in the MP → ∞ limit. We introduce a revised version of the Pyramid Scheme, which satisfies this criterion. Combining the criteria for CSB with results of Nelson and Seiberg, any such Lagrangian is non-generic, but we argue that this is plausible in the co...
متن کاملConstraints on Meta-stable de Sitter Flux Vacua
We consider flux compactification of type IIB string theory as the orientifold limit of an Ftheory on a Calabi-Yau fourfold. We show that when supersymmetry is dominantly broken by the axion-dilaton and the contributions of the F-terms associated with complex structure moduli are small, the Hessian of the flux potential always has tachyonic modes for de Sitter vacua. This implies that there exi...
متن کاملRefining the boundaries of the classical de Sitter landscape
We derive highly constraining no-go theorems for classical de Sitter backgrounds of string theory, with parallel sources; this should impact the embedding of cosmological models. We study ten-dimensional vacua of type II supergravities with parallel and backreacted orientifold Op-planes and Dp-branes, on fourdimensional de Sitter space-time times a compact manifold. Vacua for p = 3, 7 or 8 are ...
