DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/AnLy/62/">Ho
 lographic Constraints on the String Landscape</a>\nby Alek Bedroya (Prince
 ton U.) as part of AnLy Strings and Fields online seminars\n\n\nAbstract\n
 I will discuss scale separation in top-down string theory constructions of
  AdS vacua\, focusing on proposals based on compactifications on Ricci-fla
 t manifolds such as DGKT and KKLT. I will then present a general argument 
 that the putative CFT duals of such scale-separated AdS vacua cannot emerg
 e as infrared limits of any brane configuration in string theory\, implyin
 g that such vacua are unlikely to be UV complete. This explains why stable
  AdS vacua in string theory are essentially higher-dimensional in nature. 
 If time permits\, I will conclude with further holographic constraints on 
 scalar potentials with implications for cosmology.\n
