Smallness of the cosmological constant and the multiple point principle

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

In this talk we argue that the breakdown of global symmetries in no--scale supergravity (SUGRA), which ensures the vanishing of the vacuum energy density near the physical vacuum, leads to a natural realisation of the multiple point principle (MPP). In the MPP inspired SUGRA models the cosmological constant is naturally tiny.
