Mass of the dilaton and the cosmological constant
One might raise a question if the gravitational scalar field (dilaton) mediates a finite-range force between local objects still behaving globally as being massless to implement the scenario of a decaying cosmological constant. We offer a non-negative reply by a detailed analysis of the field-theoretical quantization procedure in relation to the observationally required suppression of the vacuu...
متن کاملA naturally light dilaton and a small cosmological constant
We present a non-supersymmetric theory with a naturally light dilaton. It is based on a 5D holographic description of a conformal theory perturbed by a close-to-marginal operator of dimension [Formula: see text] which develops a condensate. As long as the dimension of the perturbing operator remains very close to marginal (even for large couplings) a stable minimum at hierarchically small scale...
متن کاملA Small Cosmological Constant from Warped Compactification with Branes
We present a possible explanation for the smallness of the observed cosmological constant using a variant of the Randall-Sundrum(RS)-Goldberger-Wise paradigm for a warped extra dimension. In contrast to RS, we imagine that we are living on the positive tension Planck brane, or on a zero-tension TeV brane. In our model there are two solutions for the scalar field in the bulk and the correspondin...
متن کاملCharged dilaton black holes with a cosmological constant.
The properties of static spherically symmetric black holes, which are either electrically or magnetically charged, and which are coupled to the dilaton in the presence of a cosmological constant, Λ, are considered. It is shown that such solutions do not exist if Λ > 0 (in arbitrary spacetime dimension ≥ 4). However, asymptotically anti-de Sitter black hole solutions with a single horizon do exi...
متن کاملField theory models for variable cosmological constant
Anthropic solutions to the cosmological constant problem require seemingly unnatural scalar field potentials with a very small slope or domain walls (branes) with a very small coupling to a four-form field. Here we introduce a class of models in which the smallness of the corresponding parameters can be attributed to a spontaneously broken discrete symmetry. We also demonstrate the equivalence ...
