Description
De Sitter solutions play an important role in cosmology and
the construction of realistic vacua. They seem however
notoriously difficult
to construct in string theory or supergravity. I'll talk
about the search for de Sitter solutions in classical
supergravity and discuss a relatively simple example in more
detail. I'll review the advantages and drawbacks of this
approach.
