Understand

It has recently been conjectured that string theory does not admit de Sitter critical points.

This note points out that in several cases, including KKLT or racetrack models, this statement is equivalent to the absence of supersymmetric Minkowski or AdS solutions.
This equivalence arises from establishing the positivity of the potential in a large-radius limit, requiring a turnover of the potential before reaching an AdS vacuum.
For example, this conjecture is incompatible with the simplest 1-modulus KKLT AdS supersymmetric solution.
