A mechanism for freezing moduli into Minkowski spacetime

We discuss FLRW-cosmologies with negatively-curved spatial slices that induce a late-time freezing 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 ubiquitously in string compactifications. Crucially, the cosmological solutions approach a Milne universe. Hence, the mechanism we describe in fact corresponds to late-time moduli freezing into Minkowski spacetime.
