High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-11-01 v1

Abstract

We give an overview of moduli stabilization in compactifications of string theory. We summarize current methods for construction and analysis of vacua with stabilized moduli, and we describe applications to cosmology and particle physics. This is a contribution to the Handbook of Quantum Gravity.
