Cosmic eggs to relax the cosmological constant

چکیده
In theories with extra dimensions, the cosmological hierarchy problem can be thought of as unnaturally large radius observable universe in Kaluza-Klein units. We sketch a dynamical mechanism that relaxes this. early scenario we propose, three spatial dimensions arise through tunneling from 'cosmic egg', an effectively one-dimensional configuration all compact and comparable, small size. If string landscape is dominated by low-dimensional compactifications, cosmic eggs would natural initial conditions for cosmology. A quantum treatment toy model egg predicts that, variant Hartle-Hawking state, break to form higher dimensional universes small, but positive constant or quintessence energy. Hence cosmology yields which seemingly observed value vacuum energy conditions.

Cosmic acceleration as the solution to the cosmological constant problem∗
In this paper we provide both a diagnosis and resolution of the cosmological constant problem, one in which a large (as opposed to a small) cosmological constant Λ can be made compatible with observation. We trace the origin of the cosmological constant problem to the assumption that the local gravitational Newton constant G (as measured in a Cavendish experiment) sets the scale for global cosm...

متن کاملSemi-local Cosmic Strings and the Cosmological Constant Problem
We study the cosmological constant problem in a three-dimensional N = 2 supergravity theory with gauge group SU(2)global × U(1)local. The model we consider is known to admit string-like configurations, the so-called semi-local cosmic strings. We show that the stability of these solitonic solutions is provided by supersymmetry through the existence of a lower bound for the energy, even though th...
متن کاملEffect of a positive cosmological constant on cosmic strings
Abstract We study cosmic Nielsen-Olesen strings in space-times with a positive cosmological constant. For the free cosmic string in a cylindrically symmetric space-time, we calculate the contribution of the cosmological constant to the angle deficit, and to the bending of null geodesics. For a cosmic string in a Schwarzschild-de Sitter space-time, we use Kruskal patches around the inner and out...
متن کاملCosmic strings in a space-time with positive cosmological constant
We study Abelian strings in a fixed de Sitter background. We find that the gauge and Higgs fields extend smoothly across the cosmological horizon and that the string solutions have oscillating scalar fields outside the cosmological horizon for all currently accepted values of the cosmological constant. If the gauge to Higgs boson mass ratio is small enough, the gauge field function has a power-...
