Description

The existence of AdS vacua in string theory with a parametric separation between the Hubble
scale and the Kaluza-Klein scale of the extra dimensions is an open question, and holography is a
promising tool to tackle this. I will discuss some remarkable holographic features
of the DGKT vacua, which are candidate AdS vacua with parametric scale separation.
