Some Reflections on Moduli, Their Stabilization and Cosmology
Michael Dine
Abstract
We review some aspects of moduli in string theory. We argue that one should focus on approximate moduli spaces, and that there is evidence that such spaces exist non-perturbatively. We ask what it would mean for string theory to predict low energy supersymmetry. Aspects of two proposed mechanisms for fixing the moduli are discussed, and solutions to certain cosmological problems associated with moduli are proposed.
