SUMMARY:Curvature-induced moduli stabilization\, Informal String Theor
 y Seminar\, Flavio Tonioni\, KU Leuven
DESCRIPTION:We discuss FLRW-cosmologies with negatively-curved spatial
  slices that induce a late-time stabilization of all the moduli of an 
 effective field theory through Hubble friction\, independently of the 
 moduli-space curvature. This holds for pure moduli\, which appear ubiq
 uitously in string compactifications. Crucially\, the cosmological sol
 utions approach a Milne universe. Hence\, the mechanism we describe in
  fact corresponds to late-time moduli stabilization in Minkowski space
 time.
