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 کاملSpacetime Fluctuations and the Cosmological Constant Problem
Spacetime geometry is treated as a fluctuating, stochastic quantum system allowing an effective quantum gravity solution to the cosmological constant problem. A Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density of spacetime metric fluctuations is solved for an FRW universe and the most probable value for the metric scale factor R is for a very small cosmological constant. e-mail: [email protected]...
متن کاملVacuum fluctuations of energy density can lead to the observed cosmological constant
The energy density associated with the Planck length is ρUV ∝ L−4 P while the energy density associated with the Hubble length is ρIR ∝ L−4 H , where LH = 1/H . The observed value of the dark energy density is quite different from either of these and is close to the geometric mean of the two: ρvac √ρUVρIR. It is argued that classical gravity is actually a probe of the vacuum fluctuations of ene...
متن کاملVacuum energy fluctuations, the induced cosmological constant and cosmological reconstruction in non-minimal modified gravity models
The one-loop effective action for non-minimal scalar modified gravity on de Sitter background with a constant scalar field is found. The corresponding induced cosmological constant is evaluated. It is shown that quantum effects in non-minimal modified gravity may induce an early-time de Sitter universe even in the situation when such solution does not occur on the classical level. Classical rec...
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.
