Abstract: A bstract We demonstrate a unified resolution to the strong CP, hierarchy, and cosmological constant problems in type IIA flux compactifications, via 4-form fluxes and KL stabilization. We show that the strong CP problem can be effectively “solved” in type IIA orientifold constructions, particularly in the type IIA T 6 /( ℤ 2 × ℤ 2 ) model. Building on this, we explore whether the remaining two fine-tuning problems can also be resolved within the same setup. To obtain a small cosmological constant, we adopt the KL scenario and find that, in order to avoid conflicts with the swampland distance conjecture and to eliminate the need for fine-tuning, the perturbative superpotential ∆ W must take the form f 0 U 3 . Additionally, we compute the gravitino mass. This allows for a resolution of the hierarchy problem without introducing fine-tuning if gravitino mass lies below 100 TeV. Taken together, these results suggest that the type IIA T 6 /( ℤ 2 × ℤ 2 ) orientifold model provides a promising framework in which all three fine-tuning problems may be addressed simultaneously.
