The Cosmological Constant Is Back
SUMMARY A diverse set of observations now compellingly suggest that Universe possesses a nonzero cosmological constant. In the context of quantum-field theory a cosmological constant corresponds to the energy density of the vacuum, and the wanted value for the cosmological constant corresponds to a very tiny vacuum energy density. We discuss future observational tests for a cosmological constan...
متن کاملWhy the Cosmological Constant Problem is Hard
We consider a recent proposal to solve the cosmological constant problem within the context of brane world scenarios with infinite volume extra dimensions. In such theories bulk can be supersymmetric even if brane supersymmetry is completely broken. The bulk cosmological constant can therefore naturally be zero. Since the volume of the extra dimensions is infinite, it might appear that at large...
متن کاملProposal for a Constant Cosmological Constant
It is proposed that the apparent positive acceleration of the cosmological scale factor is due to the vacuum energy of an incomplete chiral phase transition in a hidden SU(2) sector. Constraints from primordial nucleosynthesis imply that the present metastable phase is in a substantially supercooled state. It is argued that massless chiral condensates can substantially enhance the possibility o...
متن کاملCosmological Constant ?
We prove that a class of one-loop partition functions found by Dienes, giving rise to a vanishing cosmological constant to one-loop, cannot be realized by a consistent lattice string. The construction of non-supersymmetric string with a vanishing cosmological constant therefore remains as elusive as ever. We also discuss a new test that any one-loop partition function for a lattice string must ...
متن کاملHow natural is a small but nonzero cosmological constant?
Based on our previous attempt, we propose a better way to understand a small but nonzero cosmological constant, as indicated by a number of recent observational studies. We re-examine the assumptions of our model of two scalar elds, trying to explain the basic mechanism resulting in a series of mini-in ations occuring nearly periodically with respect to ln t with t the cosmic time. We also disc...
