A Priori Probability Distribution of the Cosmological Constant

Astrophysics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

In calculations of the probability distribution for the cosmological constant, it has been previously assumed that the a priori probability distribution is essentially constant in the very narrow range that is anthropically allowed. This assumption has recently been challenged. Here we identify large classes of theories in which this assumption is justified.
