Self-tuning solutions of the cosmological constant
It is generally believed that the cosmological constant problem is the most severe hierarchy problem in particle physics. The hierarchy problem has been formulated since 1975 in connection with grand unified theories(GUTs). GUTs introduce two scales which differ by a factor of 10. At the classical Lagrangian level, there appear parameters which are of order 10 GeV. But loop corrections and spon...
متن کاملCosmological constant and vacuum energy
The general thermodynamic analysis of the quantum vacuum, which is based on our knowledge of the vacua in condensed-matter systems, is consistent with the Einstein earlier view on the cosmological constant. In the equilibrium Universes the value of the cosmological constant is regulated by matter. In the empty Universe, the vacuum energy is exactly zero, λ = 0. The huge contribution of the zero...
متن کاملSelf-tuning of Cosmological Constant and Exit from Inflation *
I review the recent 5D self-tuning solutions of the cosmological constant problem, and try to unify two cosmological constant problems within the framework of the self-tuning solutions. One problem, the large cosmological constant needed for inflation, is interpreted by starting with the parameters allowing only the dS vacuum, and the vanishing cosmological constant at a true vacuum is realized...
متن کاملA model for self-tuning the cosmological constant
The vanishing cosmological constant in the four dimensional space-time is obtained in a 5D Randall-Sundrum model with a brane (B1) located at y = 0. The matter fields can be located at the brane. For settling any vacuum energy generated at the brane to zero, we need a three index antisymmetric tensor field AMNP with a specific form for the Lagrangian. For the self-tuning mechanism, the bulk cos...
متن کاملVacuum Energy and the Cosmological Constant
We discuss a numerical relation between the cosmological constant Λ [1] and the vacuum energy arising from the Casimir effect [2]. Many recent theories of the elementary particles invoke the existence of extra dimensions, beyond the familiar 4-dimensional space-time manifold. Often these extra dimensions are compact and have a finite range. In a particular model [3] the range R is of the order ...
