Brane Universes and the Cosmological Constant
arXiv:hep-th/0509062 · doi:10.1142/S0217732305018773
Abstract
The cosmological constant problem and brane universes are reviewed briefly. We discuss how the cosmological constant problem manifests itself in various scenarios for brane universes. We review attempts - and their difficulties - that aim at a solution of the cosmological constant problem.
