In particular, the curvature of the canonically conjugate dual space provides for a positive cosmological constant to leading order, that satisfies a radiatively stable see-saw-like formula, which in turn induces the dark energy in the observed spacetime. We also comment on the non-commutative phase of the non-perturbative formulations of string theory/quantum gravity implied by this approach.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalDark energy and string theoryArticle - RefereedPhysics Letters Bhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2019.1349507981873-2445
