Claim ds-003 · Atlas v1.2.0

KKLT is a specific, well-defined proposal for obtaining a de Sitter vacuum: flux and non-perturbative stabilization into a supersymmetric anti-de Sitter minimum, followed by an anti-D3-brane uplift.

ds-003Established result

KKLT is a specific, well-defined proposal for obtaining a de Sitter vacuum: flux and non-perturbative stabilization into a supersymmetric anti-de Sitter minimum, followed by an anti-D3-brane uplift.

Why it is stated this way
The construction exists as a definite recipe in the literature and has been the reference point for the field for two decades. Describing what it proposes is uncontroversial.
Scope and limitations
That the construction is well-defined does not establish that it works. Its validity is the subject of the next two claims.
