Proposal for a Constant Cosmological Constant
It is proposed that the apparent positive acceleration of the cosmological scale factor is due to the vacuum energy of an incomplete chiral phase transition in a hidden SU(2) sector. Constraints from primordial nucleosynthesis imply that the present metastable phase is in a substantially supercooled state. It is argued that massless chiral condensates can substantially enhance the possibility o...
متن کاملCosmological Constant ?
We prove that a class of one-loop partition functions found by Dienes, giving rise to a vanishing cosmological constant to one-loop, cannot be realized by a consistent lattice string. The construction of non-supersymmetric string with a vanishing cosmological constant therefore remains as elusive as ever. We also discuss a new test that any one-loop partition function for a lattice string must ...
متن کاملA new cosmological constant model
We propose a new cosmological model with a time-dependent cosmological constant (Λ ∝ 1/t), which starting at the Planck time as ΛP l ∼ M P l, evolves to the present-day allowed value of Λ0 ∼ 10M P l. This scenario is supported by non-critical string theory considerations. We compute the age of the Universe and the time-dependence of the scale factor in this model, and find general agreement wit...
متن کاملThe cosmological constant
We discuss issues related with the cosmological constant problem in the light of recent observations which tend to indicate that the expansion of the universe is presently undergoing an acceleration. Models of fundamental physics which address these issues are discussed.
