Obstacles to constructing de Sitter space in string theory
A bstract There have been many attempts to construct de Sitter space-times in string theory.
While arguably there have been some successes, this has proven challenging, leading to …

Swampland, trans-Planckian censorship and fine-tuning problem for inflation: tunnelling wavefunction to the rescue
S Brahma, R Brandenberger… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The trans-Planckian censorship conjecture implies that single-field models of inflation
require an extreme fine-tuning of the initial conditions due to the very low-scale of inflation …

How a four-dimensional de Sitter solution remains outside the swampland
A bstract We argue that, in the presence of time-dependent fluxes and quantum corrections,
four-dimensional de Sitter solutions should appear in the type IIB string landscape and not in …
