Cosmological Constant of the -Dimensional World, Embedded in the -Dimensional Bulk Space
arXiv:hep-th/0611339 · doi:10.1007/s10773-007-9593-x
Abstract
In this manuscript we study the cosmological constant of a -dimensional world, which lives in the higher dimensional bulk space. We assume the extra dimensions are compact on tori. We consider two cases: positive and negative bulk cosmological constant. It is pointed out that the tiny cosmological constant of our world can be obtained by the dynamics of a scalar field and adjusting the parameters of the model. The cosmological constant of the dual world also will be discussed. We obtain the Dirac quantization of these cosmological constants.
