Holographic Questions About Moduli Stabilisation

Abstract: Moduli stabilisation is an important and fundamental question in string theory as it is a precursor to constructing semi-realistic string vacua. I describe work over the last few years aiming at examining moduli stabilised vacua from a holographic perspective, studying in particular LVS in IIB and DGKT in IIA. In scale separated limits of large volumes and weak coupling, the conformal dimensions of dual operators approach fixed values that are independent of fluxes and many other microscopic aspects of the constructions. A further intriguing property is the existence of integer conformal dimensions for DGKT vacua, although the origin of these integers is mysterious.
