- Title
HIERARCHY PROBLEMS IN STRING THEORY AND LARGE VOLUME MODELS.
- Authors
CONLON, JOSEPH P.
- Abstract
Nature generates many hierarchically different scales. It is necessary to explain where these scales come from and how they are related. Three such scales are the weak scale, the scale associated with axion physics, and the scale associated with neutrino masses. I review the large volume models that arise in flux compactifications of type IIB string theory and explain how an intermediate string scale can quantitatively explain the above three scales. The models also predict a new physical scale at 1 MeV, associated to a gravitationally coupled scalar.
