abstract
Following a recent suggestion by Randall and Sundrum, we consider string compactification scenarios in which a compact slice of AdS-space arises as a subspace of the compactification manifold. A specific example is provided by the type II orientifold equivalent to type I theory on (orbifolds of) $T^6$, upon taking into account the gravitational backreaction of the D3-branes localized inside the $T^6$. The conformal factor of the four-dimensional metric depends exponentially on one of the compact directions, which, via the holographic correspondence, becomes identified with the renormalization group scale in the uncompactified world. This set-up can be viewed as a generalization of the AdS/CFT correspondence to boundary theories that include gravitational dynamics. A striking consequence is that, in this scenario, the fundamental Planck size string and the large N QCD string appear as (two different wavefunctions of) one and the same object.

String Axiverse
String theory predicts an axiverse of ultralight axions whose effects on CMB polarization, matter power spectrum, and black hole superradiance can be probed by future astrophysical experiments.

Relative Quantum Gravity: Localized Gravity and the Swampland
Localized gravity theories can violate swampland constraints, but satisfy them when defined relative to a higher-dimensional gravity completion, dubbed relative quantum gravity.
