Self-tuning solutions of the cosmological constant

Abstract

I briefly review the cosmological constant problem and attempts toward its solution, and present the first nontrivial example for the self-tuning mechanism with a $1/H^2$ term with the antisymmetric field strength $H_{MNPQ}$ in a 5D RS-II setup.
