where KD is the D-dimensional Newton constant, RD is the Ricci scalar inD dimensions, GD is the determinant of the D-dimensional metric. Finally,Lint is the Lagrangian for the local or global fields that couple to gravity.It can contain for example, global fluxes, scalar fields, local sources andterms that describe graviton self coupling.

Fluxes coupled to gravity
The flux Lagrangian
LFint = −√−GDFa1...aqF
a1...aq , (4)
where F is a q-form. The above Lagrangian leads to the followingstress-energy tensor:

The condition (2) now stands us,
4(1− q)F 2 > −Fµa2..aqFµa2..aqq (D − 2) . (7)

Fluxes coupled to gravity (Continued)
We can consider two types of fluxes:
1. the first type with legs only along the internal directions.2. the second type with legs in M4.For the first type of flux ai = m, n for all i and Fµa2..aqF
µa2..aq = 0. Nowas we know F 2 > 0, the only way (7) can be maintained is q < 1.
In case of second scenario-
For q ≥ 4 we will consider 4 out of q legs along M4 and the rest of its legsalong the internal directions. When q < 4, then all the legs will be alongMD−4, to protect De Sitter isometry. With this condition on the fluxes,one obtains the following identities:

Fluxes coupled to gravity (Continued)
F 2 = Fa1a2..aqFa1a2..aq = C (q, 4)Fµ1..µ4a5..aqF
µ1..µ4a5..aq
Fµa2..aqFµa2..aq = C (q − 1, 3)Fµ1..µ4a5..aqF
µ1..µ4a5..aq , (8)
where the coefficient C (q, k) is defined by
C (q, k) ≡ q!
(q − k)!k!. (9)
This in turn gives us
Fµa2..aqFµa2..aq =
4
qF 2. (10)
Using the above relation and the fact that F 2 < 0 for fluxes along leg intime direction, condition 2 will be satisfied if and only if
D < q + 1. (11)

Scalar field coupled to gravity
Lagrangian for a scalar field interacting with gravity is given by
Lφint = −√−GD
(∂Mφ∂
Mφ+ V (φ)). (12)
The stress-energy tensor is given by
TφMN = −gMN
(∂Kφ∂
Kφ+ V (φ))
+ 2∂Mφ∂Nφ. (13)
Then with the stress-energy tensor given above, the only way (2) issatisfied is if and only if
∂µφ∂µφ+ V (φ) > 0. (14)
Now demanding that the M4 is isotropic in space but dependent on time,we readily find ∂µφ∂
µφ = g tt∂tφ∂tφ < 0 since g tt < 0. Thus if V (φ) < 0,M4 will not have positive curvature. In type IIB string theory, the scalaraxio-dilaton field τ has no potential and thus will not aid in constructingpositive curvature.

where f is the determinant of the metric fab, defined in the following way:
fab = fab + Fab, fab = gMN∂XM
∂σa∂XN
∂σband Fab = Fab + Bab.(19)
and Cp+1 is the RR flux. As above, Fab is raised or lowered with thepullback metric fab. Note that the sign of µp determines whether we havea brane or an anti-brane. However both branes and anti-branes havepositive tension Tp > 0. The topological term cannot enter the
stress-energy tensor since δSCS
δgMN = 0 where SCS = µp∫ (
C ∧ e F)p+1
is the
Chern-Simons action.

Further conditions on forms
To evaluate the trace of the stress-energy tensor, we will restrict the formof the fields to ensure Poincare invariance in the non-compact spacetime .These conditions are the following:
•The fluxes H3 and F3 only have legs along M6, and τ depends only onxm, the coordinates of M6.
• F5 will have legs in the xµ directions. Then by imposing self duality andPoincare invariance, one obtains the general form
F5 = (1 + ∗10) dα ∧ dt ∧ dx ∧ dy ∧ dz , (20)
where α(xM) is a scalar field which is a function of all coordinatesxM ,M = 0, .., 9.
Having laid down the required conditions, we will now analyze theindividual cases with branes, anti-branes and orientifold planes.

Direct product space with D3 Branes
Re-writing the Lagrangian,
LDp = −Tpeφ(p+1)
4
√−f√gD−p−1δ
10−p−1(x − x) (21)
For Dp brane with p = 3, we have D3 or anti-D3 branes which fill up M4.Thus the induced metric is
fab = gab, for a, b = µ, ν
fab = 0 for a, b 6= µ, ν. (22)
Therefore we find,
Tµ
µ (D3/D3)= −T3e
φ
√−f√g6√−G10
(4 + Fµµ
)δ6(x − x)
Tmm (D3/D3)
= 0. (23)
However, since the flux F is anti-symmetric while the metric is symmetric,Fµµ = 0. Thus neither the D3 nor the anti-D3 brane tensor satisfies theconstraint (2).
MIR MEHEDI FARUK (McGill University) March 25, 2019 13 / 55
Direct product space with D5 and D7 Branes
For Poincare invariance in the noncompact dimensions, we will fill up M4
with the Dp or anti-Dp branes and the remaining worldvolume will fill upsome Sp−3 cycle inside the transverse space MD−p−1. If xm, xn denotecoordinates of the cycle Sp−3, then we have
fab = gab, for a, b = µ, ν,m, n
fab = 0 for a, b 6= µ, ν,m, n. (24)
And we obtain

µ (Dp/Dp)= −Tpe

A Using the form above, we can readily see that neither the Dp nor antiDp-brane stress-energy tensor satisfies the constraint (2) for p = 5, 7.

O Planes
On the other hand, for an orientifold, we have the action
SOp = −∫
dp+1σ TOpeφ(p+1)
4
√−f + µOp
∫Cp+1, (26)
where the orientifold has negative tension, i.e. TOp < 0. Here µp is thecharge of the Op-plane and we have the relation |TOp| = e−φ|µOp|. Alsonote that since the Op plane has negative charge, we haveµp = eφTOp = −eφ|TOp|.

Direct product space with O planes
The tension of O3-planes taken to lie in M4 is given by
Tµµ (O3) = 4|TO3|eφ
√−f√g6√−G10
δ6(x − x)
Tmm (O3) = 0, (27)
In case of Op-planes with p = 5, 7, assuming as above that the spacetimedirections M4 are filled, we find
Tµµ (Op) = 4|TOp|e
φ(p+1)4
√−f√gD−p−1√−G10
δD−p−1(x − x)
Tmm (Op) = |TOp|e
φ(p+1)4
√−f√gD−p−1√−G10
(p − 3) δD−p−1(x − x). (28)
Orientifolds have negative tension, so there is a possibility that theconstraint (2) might be satisfied when O-planes are included. However wewill see that this does not lead to positive curvature in four dimensions.

The left-hand side is independent of xm, and hence the right-hand sideshould be as well. It follows that we can evaluate the right-hand side atany value of xm, and so we are free to consider xm away from the localizedOp-planes, where the local O-plane stress-energy tensor gives zero. As wehave already studied, the flux and local or smeared Dp or anti-Dp branecontributions to R4 are negative definite. Thus we obtain
R4 ≤ 0. (31)

The corrections to the action are of the form Rn or Gn (or a combinationthereof) and can come from several sources, such as- instantoncorrections, tree level α′ corrections, and loop corrections.

Gmµνρ = ∂m

To study the stress-energy tensor from the G -fluxes we have to firstexpress the various components of the G -fluxes GMNPQ in terms of their
unwarped components GMNPQ as:
G 012m = G 012m[Λ(t)]13/3h5/3,
Gmnpa = Gmnpa[Λ(t)]1/3h−4/3,
Gmnab = Gmnab[Λ(t)]−2/3h−4/3
Gmnpq = Gmnpq[Λ(t)]4/3h−4/3
where what we have done here is to simply isolate the warp factordependences of GMNPQ and express its components in terms of GMNPQ .This also means that GMNPQ ≡ GMNPQ by definition.

Final remark
In the absence of fluxes and higher-curvature corrections the aboveequation implies that the simplest solution will be Λ = 0, a fourdimensional Minkowski space.
In the presence of fluxes, and in the presence or absence of thehigher-curvature corrections, it is not difficult to see that the Λ < 0solution is favored.
for a solution to exist we must have the following condition

No Hierarchy in quantum corrections and loss of EFTdescription
Lets take a look at the correction contribution to energy momentumtensors,
TMN ≡∑i
h1/3(Λ|t|2
)αi C(i)MN , (72)
Clearly if we arrange the series (72) with decreasing αi , i.e if we make thefollowing arrangements:
αi > αi+1, (73)
then there is some hierarchy between the various quantum terms, at leastperturbatively. This hierarchy will be lost if αi = 0. The logic behind suchan arrangement is to note that the type IIA coupling gs is proportional to:
gs ∝(Λ|t|2
)1/2h1/4, (74)
which decreases slowly with time towards weak coupling, but is stronglycoupled at early times and therefore our choice of gs does indeed provide

No Hierarchy in quantum corrections and loss ofEFTdescription -III
let us consider any of the Λ(k) pieces in (75). They are all time-neutral,and for our purpose we can choose Λ(1) as a representative. Using this letus define the following function:
M6p
∫ y1
0
∫ y2
0....
∫ y8
0d8y ′√g8 �Λ(1)(y ′1, ..., y
′8) ≡ M3
pΓ(5)(y1, ..., y8)
which is by construction a time-neutral function also, but now appearswith a positive power of Mp. We can raise this to arbitrary powers togenerate positive powers of M3
p . By construction they are non-localfunctions and may therefore contribute to the non-local counter-terms.

as we mentioned earlier, there are also non-local corrections with positivepowers of Mp, so the series dont have a leading order term, potentiallydestroying this hierarchy. Preserving the Mp hierarchy in the presence ofthese corrections would require that the higher order non-local correctionsare sufficiently suppressed by the coefficients (ckb)MN , which cannot beguaranteed without a more detailed analysis of these terms.

EFT description
Each of the series in the brackets, which are basically C(k)MN , come
with all powers of Mp and now contribute equally to the sum!
The hierarchies provided by (ckb)MN , as mentioned above, are prettyweak to allow for any controlled approximation for the sum.
Thus our argument here implies that there is at least no simpleeffective field theory description for the background with full de Sitterisometries.
The QCD action is exact, analogous to the string world sheet action.The supergravity action we play with emerges only as a limit of stringtheory, somewhat analogous to chiral perturbation theory as an EFTof the pion
When quantum corrections to the pion EFT become large, it indicatesthat the pions split into quarks, in which case one must use the fullQCD action. We refer to this phenomena as the breakdown ofeffective field theory

EFT description: analogy with QCD
In more quantitative terms, for QCD the quantum corrections have theform:
Q1 ≡∑a
(g2YM)aCa, (78)
where Ca are computed from loops and for a < 0 we have thenon-perturbative (NP) effects. They eventually may be expressed aspowers of e−1/g2
YM . On the other hand, for the de Sitter case the series weexpect is:
Q2 ≡∑a
gas Ca, (79)
where Ca =∑
b DabMbp and b is summed for all positive and negative
integers in a way discussed in details earlier. If this is the case, EFT isdefined and would match with the EFT of QCD mentioned above.

EFT description: analogy with QCD - II
Unfortunately what we actually get is:
Q3 ≡∑a
Ca, (80)
with no gs dependences! Thus there is at least no simple EFT descriptionhere, evident from the loss of gs and Mp hierarchy, and therefore differsfrom QCD where we do expect an EFT description. All in all this showsthat to allow for a four-dimensional de Sitter in string theory we willrequire an infinite number of degrees of freedom at every scale resulting ina loss of EFT description. This is then the key point of difference betweenthe two theories

Things to do
try to find out carefully if the second attempt has an EFT description.
What is the form of four dimensional cosmological constant. is it timeindependent or dependent?
Constrain according to 2014. anything analogous to it? as there is notime independent piece in quantum corrections.
What would be the four dimensional lagrangian?
check out the anomaly condition.
