String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30) Classes of solutions; algebraically special solutions, metrics with symmetries for problems in general relativity and gravitational theory (83C20) Supergravity (83E50)

Abstract: We show that string/M theory compactifications to maximally symmetric space-times using manifolds whose scalar curvature is everywhere negative, must have significant warping, large stringy corrections, or both.
