Running of the Cosmological Constant and Estimate of its Value in Quantum General Relativity

Abstract

We present the connection between the running of the cosmological constant and the estimate of its value in the resummed quantum gravity realization of quantum general relativity. We also address in this way some of the questions that have been raised concerning this latter generalization and application of the original prescription of Feynman for the formulation of quantum general relativity.
