Relaxation of the cosmological constant at inflation?
We suggest that the cosmological constant has been relaxed to its present, very small value during the inflationary stage of the evolution of the Universe. This requires relatively low scale, very long duration and unconventional source of inflation. We present a concrete mechanism of the cosmological constant relaxation at the inflationary epoch.

متن کاملSaltatory Relaxation of the Cosmological Constant 1
We modify and extend an earlier proposal by Brown and Teitelboim to relax the effective cosmological term by nucleation of branes coupled to a three-index gauge potential. Microscopic considerations from string/M theory suggest two major innovations in the framework. First, the possibility of branes wrapped on degenerating cycles may generate a very small quantized unit for jumps in the effecti...
متن کاملMultiverse Understanding of Cosmological Coincidences
There is a deep cosmological mystery: although dependent on very different underlying physics, the timescales of structure formation, of galaxy cooling (both radiatively and against the CMB), and of vacuum domination do not differ by many orders of magnitude, but are all comparable to the present age of the universe. By scanning four landscape parameters simultaneously, we show that this quadru...
متن کاملRelaxation of the cosmological constant in a movable brane world
We present numerical evidence that a domain wall in a background with varying vacuum energy density acquires velocity in the direction of decreasing Hubble parameter. This should lead to at least a partial relaxation of the cosmological constant on the wall. hep-th/0207258 Brane-world scenarios, according to which we live on a domain wall in a higherdimensional space [1], open new avenues for t...
متن کاملPerturbations in the relaxation mechanism for a large cosmological constant
Recently, a mechanism for relaxing a large cosmological constant (CC) has been proposed [1], which transforms any initial vacuum energy density of arbitrary sign and magnitude into a harmless quantity without fine-tuning. The setup is implemented in the ΛXCDM framework, and it yields a reasonable cosmological background evolution similar to the ΛCDM model with a fine-tuned CC. In this work we a...
