Cosmological Constant Problems and Renormalization Group
arXiv:gr-qc/0611055 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/40/25/S03
Abstract
The Cosmological Constant Problem emerges when Quantum Field Theory is applied to the gravitational theory, due to the enormous magnitude of the induced energy of the vacuum. The unique known solution of this problem involves an extremely precise fine-tuning of the vacuum counterpart. We review a few of the existing approaches to this problem based on the account of the quantum (loop) effects and pay special attention to the ones involving the renormalization group.
