found with masses of the order of the cosmological constant. Minkowski space solutions are shown to live at strong coupling. In section 5 we present a mechanism to break supersymmetry in terms of fluxes and argue that the masses of states can in principle be much larger than the cosmological constant once the theory is uplifted to dS space. In section 6 we present our conclusions and open questions.

A Reminder of the Basics
========================

In this section we summarize some material concerning the type IIB non-geometric model constructed in [@BVW] that will be relevant in the later sections.

The concrete example we are interested in is a non-geometric model described in terms of an orientifold a of Landau-Ginzburg (LG) model. In [@BVW] it was shown that several types of four-dimensional supersymmetric vacua (Minkowski as well as AdS) exist at the Fermat point of this model. Even though these vacua emerge at strong coupling their existence is warranted due to a powerful non-renormalization theorem for the type IIB superpotential [@Vafaaug], [@DV], [@Burgess], [@BVW]. We will discuss the non-renormalization theorem in some detail in this section. In order to compute e.g. the explicit value of the masses of moduli, it is
