Linking light scalar modes with a small positive cosmological constant in string theory

Abstract Based on the studies in Type IIB string theory phenomenology, we conjecture that a good fraction of the meta-stable de Sitter vacua in the cosmic stringy landscape tend to have a very small cosmological constant Λ when compared to either the string scale M S or the Planck scale M P , i.e.,...
