The cosmological constant
We discuss issues related with the cosmological constant problem in the light of recent observations which tend to indicate that the expansion of the universe is presently undergoing an acceleration. Models of fundamental physics which address these issues are discussed.
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant
Contrary to popular mythology, Einstein did not invent the cosmological constant just in order construct his model universe. He discussed it earlier in “The Foundations of General Relativity”in connection with the proper structure of the source-free field equations. There he dismissed it as arbitrary and unnecessary. It was later that he found its inclusion to be essential to the construction o...
متن کاملPlanetary Perturbation with cosmological Constant
A contribution of quantum vacuum to the energy momentum tensor is inevitably experienced in the present universe. One requires the presence of non-zero cosmological constant (Λ) to make the various observations consistent. A case of Λ in the Schwarzschild de Sitter space-time shows that precession of perihelion orbit provides a sensative solar test for non-zero Λ. Application of the relations i...
متن کاملChallenging the Cosmological Constant
We outline a dynamical dark energy scenario whose signatures may be simultaneously tested by astronomical observations and laboratory experiments. The dark energy is a field with slightly sub-gravitational couplings to matter, a logarithmic self-interaction potential with a scale tuned to ∼ 10 eV, as is usual in quintessence models, and an effective mass mφ influenced by the environmental energ...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant
This is a review of the physics and cosmology of the cosmological constant. Focusing on recent developments, I present a pedagogical overview of cosmology in the presence of a cosmological constant, observational constraints on its magnitude, and the physics of a small (and potentially nonzero) vacuum energy.
