TL;DR
This paper explores the connection between vacuum energy, the cosmological constant, and potential critical phenomena near the Planck scale, considering implications of recent LHC results for cosmology.
Contribution
It proposes a novel link between the cosmological constant, vacuum energy, and critical phenomena at the Planck scale informed by recent collider data.
Findings
Potential critical phenomena near the Planck scale influence vacuum energy.
LHC results may provide insights into the cosmological constant.
Theoretical ideas connect particle physics with cosmological observations.
Abstract
The accelerating expansion of the Universe points to a small positive value for the cosmological constant or vacuum energy density. We discuss recent ideas that the cosmological constant plus LHC results might hint at critical phenomena near the Planck scale.
