Cosmological Constant and Axions in String Theory
String theory axions appear to be promising candidates for explaining cosmological constant via quintessence. In this paper, we study conditions on the string compactifications under which axion quintessence can happen. For sufficiently large number of axions, cosmological constant can be accounted for as the potential energy of axions that have not yet relaxed to their minima. In compactificat...
متن کاملOn Cosmological Constant in Causal Set Theory
Resolution of the cosmological constant problem based on Causal Set theory is discussed. It is argued that one should not observe any spacetime variations in Λ if Causal Set approach is correct. It’s been known since late 1990’s that expansion of our Universe appears to be accelerating. [1] The most commonly agreed upon explanation of this expansion is a small but non-zero cosmological constant...
متن کاملCosmological Constant Seesaw in String/M-Theory
In this paper we extend the Cosmological Constant Seesaw treatment of hepth/0602112 to String/M-Theory where the cosmological constant is finite. We discuss how transitions between different λ, one of Planckian vacuum energy, can give rise to a large M Pl denominator in the Cosmological Constant Seesaw relation discussed by Banks, Motl and Carroll. We apply these ideas to 2d/3d String/M-Theory ...
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 ...
متن کاملPositive Cosmological Constant and Quantum Theory
We argue that quantum theory should proceed not from a spacetime background but from a Lie algebra, which is treated as a symmetry algebra. Then the fact that the cosmological constant is positive means not that the spacetime background is curved but that the de Sitter (dS) algebra as the symmetry algebra is more relevant than the Poincare or anti de Sitter ones. The physical interpretation of ...
