| contents | We study the Null Energy Condition (NEC) arising from the Virasoro constraint on the string worldsheet. We then analyze how the NEC in the external spacetime directions emerges under general time-dependent string compactifications. Finally, we exhibit compactifications in which the averaged Einstein-frame condition allows the lower-dimensional description of the external spacetime to violate the NEC, thereby realizing a bouncing cosmology, while the higher-dimensional NEC remains satisfied, as dictated by worldsheet symmetry. We comment on scale-separated solutions obtained through the averaged Einstein-frame condition |
