Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Cosmological Constant Problem
by Jerome Martin
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 89
Description:
This article aims at discussing the cosmological constant problem at a pedagogical but fully technical level. We review how the vacuum energy can be regularized in flat and curved space-time and how it can be understood in terms of Feynman bubble diagrams.
