DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/AnLy/64/">To
 ward an Effective Theory of the Volume Modulus</a>\nby Naman Agarwal (Mani
 toba U.) as part of AnLy Strings and Fields online seminars\n\n\nAbstract\
 nIn this talk\, I will talk about my recent work with collaborators where 
 we investigate the 4-dimensional effective theory of the warped volume mod
 ulus in the presence of stabilizing effects from gaugino condensation by a
 nalyzing the linearized 10-dimensional supergravity equations of motion. W
 arping is generally expected to scale down the masses of bulk modes to the
  IR scale at the tip of a throat. We find that the mass of the warped volu
 me modulus evades expectations and is largely insensitive to the effects o
 f warping\, even in strongly warped backgrounds. Instead\, the mass is par
 ametrically tied to the 4-dimensional AdS curvature scale $m^2 \\sim \\mat
 hcal{O}(1) \\hat{R}_{AdS}$\, presenting a challenge for scale separation i
 n these backgrounds. We trace this effect to a universal contribution aris
 ing from the 10-dimensional equations of motion\, and comment on the impor
 tance of a 10-dimensional treatment of the warped volume modulus for effec
 tive field theories and model building.\n
