Hiding the cosmological constant
S. Carlip
Perhaps standard effective field theory arguments are right, and vacuum fluctuations really do generate a huge cosmological constant. I show that if one does not assume homogeneity…

Quantum Fields, Geometric Fluctuations, and the Structure of Spacetime
S. Carlip, Ricardo A. Mosna, J. P. M. Pitelli
Quantum fluctuations of the vacuum stress-energy tensor are highly non-Gaussian, and can have unexpectedly large effects on spacetime geometry. In this paper, we study a two-dimens…
