Galois groups of uplifted de Sitter vacua

Abstract

We compute the Galois group of a polynomial whose roots are determined by the critical points of a scalar potential in type IIB compactifications. We focus our study on certain perturbative models where it is feasible to construct a de Sitter vacuum within the effective theory by introducing non-geometric fluxes, D-branes, or non-BPS states. Our findings clearly show that all de Sitter vacua derived from lifting AdS stable vacua are associated with an unsolvable Galois group. This suggests a deeper connection between the fundamental principles of Galois theory and its applications in the construction of dS vacua.
