Vanishing of the Cosmological Constant in Stabilized Quantum Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the probability distribution P(λ)P(\lambda) for the effective cosmological constant is sharply peaked at λ=0\lambda=0 in stochastic (or "fifth-time") stabilized quantum gravity. The effect is similar to the Baum-Hawking mechanism, except that it comes about due to quantum fluctuations, rather than as a zeroth-order (in \hbar) semiclassical effect.
