Can codimension - two branes solve the cosmological constant problem ?
It has been suggested that codimension-two braneworlds might naturally explain the vanishing of the 4D effective cosmological constant, due to the automatic relation between the deficit angle and the brane tension. To investigate whether this cancellation happens dynamically, and within the context of a realistic cosmology, we study a codimension-two braneworld with spherical extra dimensions c...
متن کاملPositive and Negative Energy Symmetry and the Cosmological Constant Problem
The action for gravity and the standard model includes, as well as the positive energy fermion and boson fields, negative energy fields. The Hamiltonian for the action leads through a positive and negative energy symmetry of the vacuum to a cancellation of the zero-point vacuum energy and a vanishing cosmological constant in the presence of a gravitational field solving the cosmological constan...
متن کاملThermal background can solve the cosmological moduli problem.
It is shown that the coherent field oscillation of moduli fields with weak or TeV scale masses can dissipate its energy efficiently if they have a derivative coupling to standard bosonic fields in a thermal state. This mechanism provides a new solution to the cosmological moduli problem without creating too much entropy at late time.
متن کاملA Symmetry for the Cosmological Constant
We study a symmetry, schematically Energy → – Energy, which suppresses matter contributions to the cosmological constant. The requisite negative energy fluctuations are identified with a “ghost” copy of the Standard Model. Gravity explicitly, but weakly, violates the symmetry, and naturalness requires General Relativity to break down at short distances with testable consequences. If this breakd...
متن کاملCan Symmetry Non-restoration Solve the Monopole Problem ?
We reexamine a recently proposed non-inflationary solution to the monopole problem, based on the possibility that spontaneously broken Grand-Unified symmetries do not get restored at high temperature. We go beyond leading order by studying the self-consistent one-loop equations of the model. We find large next-to-leading corrections that reverse the lowest order results and cause symmetry resto...
