Description
We argue that ten-dimensional consistency requirements in the form of a certain tadpole cancellation condition can be satisfied by KKLT type vacua of type IIB string theory. The stress caused by the restoring force that the stabilization mechanism exerts on the volume modulus once supersymmetry gets broken can be seen to ensure this dynamically. However, we also explain that it is surprisingly difficult to engineer sufficiently long warped throats to prevent decompactification which are also small enough in size to fit into the bulk Calabi-Yau (CY). We give arguments that achieving this with reasonable amount of control may not be possible in generic CY compactifications while CYs with very non-generic geometrical properties might evade this conclusion.
