A Note on the Local Cosmological Constant and the Dark Energy Coincidence Problem
arXiv:gr-qc/0607085 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/23/15/N01
Abstract
It has been suggested that the Dark Energy Coincidence Problem could be interpreted as a possible link between the cosmological constant and a massive graviton. We show that by using that link and models for the graviton mass a dark energy density can be obtained that is indeed very close to measurements by WMAP. As a consequence of the models, the cosmological constant was found to depend on the density of matter. A brief outline of the cosmological consequences such as the effect on the black hole solution is given.
