The Cosmological Constant and Warped Extra Dimensions
Abstract We study the behavior of a general gravitational action, including quadratic terms in the curvature, supplemented by a compact scalar field in 4 + 1 dimensions. The generalized Einstein equation for this system admits solutions which are compact in one direction and Poincaré invariant in the remaining directions. These solutions do not require any fine-tuning of the parameters in the a...
متن کاملPrimordial Inflation and Present-Day Cosmological Constant from Extra Dimensions
A semiclassical gravitation model is outlined which makes use of Casimir vacuum energy fluctuations in extra compactified dimensions to produce the present-day dark energy density. The model is based on (4+D)-dimensional gravity, with D = 2 extra dimensions with radius b(t) curled up at the ADD length scale b0 ≈ 0.1 mm. Primordial inflation of our three-dimensional space occurs as in the cosmol...
متن کاملOn Sub-Millimeter Forces From Extra Dimensions
We show that in theories with large extra dimensions forces mediated by a bulk dilaton and bulk gauge fields may be parametrically (exponentially) weaker than gravity due to the suppression of their wave-functions on a brane. This is the case when dilaton gets stabilized by certain strongly coupled dynamics on the brane, or the bulk gauge symmetries are spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechani...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions and the Cosmological Constant Problem
This article briefly summarizes and reviews the motivations for — and the present status of — the proposal that the small size of the observed Dark Energy density can be understood in terms of the dynamical relaxation of two large extra dimensions within a supersymmetric higher-dimensional theory. 1. Reading the Tea Leaves The start of the new millenium finds the fundamental sciences at an odd ...
متن کاملDiluting Cosmological Constant In Infinite Volume Extra Dimensions
We argue that the cosmological constant problem can be solved in a braneworld model with infinite-volume extra dimensions, avoiding no-go arguments applicable to theories that are four-dimensional in the infrared. Gravity on the brane becomes higher-dimensional at super-Hubble distances, which entails that the relation between the acceleration rate and vacuum energy density flips upside down co...
