Diluting Cosmological Constant In Infinite Volume Extra Dimensions
We argue that the cosmological constant problem can be solved in a braneworld model with infinite-volume extra dimensions, avoiding no-go arguments applicable to theories that are four-dimensional in the infrared. Gravity on the brane becomes higher-dimensional at super-Hubble distances, which entails that the relation between the acceleration rate and vacuum energy density flips upside down co...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant and Warped Extra Dimensions
Abstract We study the behavior of a general gravitational action, including quadratic terms in the curvature, supplemented by a compact scalar field in 4 + 1 dimensions. The generalized Einstein equation for this system admits solutions which are compact in one direction and Poincaré invariant in the remaining directions. These solutions do not require any fine-tuning of the parameters in the a...
متن کاملDiluting Solutions of the Cosmological Constant Problem
We discuss the cosmological constant problem in the context of higher codimension brane world scenarios with infinite-volume extra dimensions.
متن کاملMetastable Gravitons and Infinite Volume Extra Dimensions
We address the issue of whether extra dimensions could have an infinite volume and yet reproduce the effects of observable four-dimensional gravity on a brane. There is no normalizable zero-mode graviton in this case, nevertheless correct Newton’s law can be obtained by exchanging bulk gravitons. This can be interpreted as an exchange of a single metastable 4D graviton. Such theories have remar...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions and the Cosmological Constant Problem
This article briefly summarizes and reviews the motivations for — and the present status of — the proposal that the small size of the observed Dark Energy density can be understood in terms of the dynamical relaxation of two large extra dimensions within a supersymmetric higher-dimensional theory. 1. Reading the Tea Leaves The start of the new millenium finds the fundamental sciences at an odd ...
