Where is the cosmological constant hiding?

Stephon Alexander
Brown

Abstract:

The cosmological constant problem, and its close cousin dark energy, stands as one of the deepest mysteries facing cosmology and fundamental physics. In this seminar, after a pedagogical review of the cosmological constant problem, I will provide two new promising directions to address the cosmological constant and dark energy.
