Features of a dark energy model in string theory

Abstract

In this paper we clear up misconceptions concerning the dark bubble model as a realization of dark energy in string theory. In particular we point out important differences with Randall-Sundrum, and explain why gravity neither is, nor need to be, localized on the dark bubble.

v4: Minor modifications, footnote 4 added. Matches published version. Title changed from "Dark Bubble: FAQs. Misconceptions, and why it is not Randall-Sundrum" to "Features of a dark energy model in string theory" during production; v2: Holographic discussion in sec 4 extended, and FAQs in section 5 updated
