Probable values of the cosmological constant in a holographic theory
Creators
Abstract
We point out that for a large class of universes, holography implies that the most probable value for the cosmological constant is zero. In four space-time dimensions, the probability distribution takes the Baum-Hawking form, dP similar to exp(cM(p)^(2)/Lambda)d Lambda.
