Abstract

We study moduli stabilization and a realization of de Sitter vacua in generalized F-term uplifting scenarios of the KKLT-type anti-de Sitter vacuum, where the uplifting sector X directly couples to the light K\"ahler modulus T in the superpotential through, e.g., stringy instanton effects. F-term uplifting can be achieved by a spontaneous supersymmetry breaking sector, e.g., the Polonyi model, the O'Raifeartaigh model and the Intriligator-Seiberg-Shih model. Several models with the X-T mixing are examined and qualitative features in most models {\it even with such mixing} are almost the same as those in the KKLT scenario. One of the quantitative changes, which are relevant to the phenomenology, is a larger hierarchy between the modulus mass m_T and the gravitino mass m3/2m_{3/2}, i.e., mT/m3/2=O(a2)m_T/m_{3/2} = {\cal O}(a^2), where a4π2a \sim 4 \pi^2. In spite of such a large mass, the modulus F-term is suppressed not like FT=O(m3/2/a2)F^T = {\cal O}(m_{3/2}/a^2), but like FT=O(m3/2/a)F^T = {\cal O}(m_{3/2}/a) for ln(MPl/m3/2)a\ln (M_{Pl}/m_{3/2}) \sim a, because of an enhancement factor coming from the X-T mixing. Then we typically find a mirage-mediation pattern of gaugino masses of O(m3/2/a){\cal O}(m_{3/2}/a), while the scalar masses would be generically of O(m3/2){\cal O}(m_{3/2}).
