Cosmological constant, renormalization group and Planck scale physics
Starting from generic quantum effects at the Planck scale MP , we find that the renormalization group running of the cosmological constant (CC) at low energies is possible if there is a smooth decoupling of all massive particles from MP to the mass of the lightest neutrino, mν . We discuss the theoretical implications of this running for the “old” and “new” cosmological constant problems. Inter...
متن کاملString Scale Cosmological Constant
The cosmological constant is an unexplained until now phenomena of nature that requires an explanation through string effects. The apparent discrepancy between theory and experiment is enourmous and has already been explained several times by the author including mechanisms. In this work the string theory theory of abolished string modes is documented and given perturbatively to all loop orders...
متن کاملCosmological Constant Problems and Renormalization Group
The Cosmological Constant Problem emerges when Quantum Field Theory is applied to the gravitational theory, due to the enormous magnitude of the induced energy of the vacuum. The unique known solution of this problem involves an extremely precise fine-tuning of the vacuum counterpart. We review a few of the existing approaches to this problem based on the account of the quantum (loop) effects a...
متن کاملA Renormalization Group Approach to the Cosmological Constant Problem
In an earlier paper, it is proposed that, due to resonance tunneling effect, tunneling from a large cosmological constant Λ site in the stringy comic landscape can be fast, while tunneling from a small Λ site may take exponentially long time. Borrowing the renormalization group analysis of the conductance in the Anderson localization transition, we treat the landscape as a multi-dimensional ran...
متن کاملObserved Cosmological Constant is Predicted by Curved-Spacetime Renormalization
I show that a cosmological constant of roughly the observed magnitude in the present universe is a consequence of general relativity and quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and was first predicted by Parker and Toms in 1985. This prediction follows from the “new partially summed form” of the propagator in curved spacetime. The effect is based on the contribution of massive particles to th...
