Cosmological constant, renormalization group and Planck scale physics
Starting from generic quantum effects at the Planck scale MP , we find that the renormalization group running of the cosmological constant (CC) at low energies is possible if there is a smooth decoupling of all massive particles from MP to the mass of the lightest neutrino, mν . We discuss the theoretical implications of this running for the “old” and “new” cosmological constant problems. Inter...
متن کاملCosmological Constant Problems and Renormalization Group
The Cosmological Constant Problem emerges when Quantum Field Theory is applied to the gravitational theory, due to the enormous magnitude of the induced energy of the vacuum. The unique known solution of this problem involves an extremely precise fine-tuning of the vacuum counterpart. We review a few of the existing approaches to this problem based on the account of the quantum (loop) effects a...
متن کاملRenormalization group and the Planck scale.
I discuss the renormalization group approach to gravity, and its link to Weinberg's asymptotic safety scenario, and give an overview of results with applications to particle physics and cosmology.
متن کاملVariable Cosmological Constant as a Planck Scale Effect
We construct a semiclassical FLRW cosmological model assuming a running cosmological constant (CC). It turns out that the CC becomes variable at arbitrarily low energies due to the remnant quantum effects of the heaviest particles, e.g. the Planck scale physics. These effects are universal in the sense that they lead to a low-energy structure common to a large class of high-energy theories. Rem...
متن کاملA Renormalization Group Approach to the Cosmological Constant Problem
In an earlier paper, it is proposed that, due to resonance tunneling effect, tunneling from a large cosmological constant Λ site in the stringy comic landscape can be fast, while tunneling from a small Λ site may take exponentially long time. Borrowing the renormalization group analysis of the conductance in the Anderson localization transition, we treat the landscape as a multi-dimensional ran...
