  • Modular symmetry shapes quintessence and de Sitter vacua

    What the study found Modular symmetry in heterotic orbifolds was found to shape a scalar potential with a rich vacuum structure. The authors report anti-de Sitter minima, unstable de Sitter saddle points, and large regions in moduli space supporting multifield hilltop quintessence. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that modular symmetry can…
