Abstract

In this paper, following the work of Hohm and Zwiebach [arXiv:1905.06583], we show that in bosonic string theory nonperturbative anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacua could exist with all α\alpha^{\prime} corrections included. We also discuss the possibility of the coexistence of nonperturbative dS and AdS vacua.
