Highlights the role of non-perturbative quantum gravity in understanding this relationship.
Suggests new directions for resolving the cosmological constant problem.
Abstract
We describe a link between the cosmological constant problem and the problem of time in quantum gravity. This arises by examining the relationship between the cosmological constant and vacuum energy in light of non-perturbative formulations of quantum gravity.
