Quantum-theoretical description of the cosmological constant as the zero-point energy

TL;DR

This paper develops a quantum theoretical framework for the cosmological constant, aiming to explain its extremely small observed value as a natural outcome of the theory.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum approach to model the cosmological constant, providing a potential explanation for its tiny observed magnitude.

Findings

A quantum model predicting a small cosmological constant

Natural emergence of the observed value from the theory

Potential implications for quantum gravity and cosmology

Abstract

The present paper seeks to construct a quantum theory of the cosmological constant in which its presently observed very small value emerges naturally.
