Holography Stabilizes the Vacuum Energy
Abstract
Gravitational holography is argued to render the cosmological constant stable against divergent quantum corrections, thus providing a technically natural solution to the cosmological constant problem. Evidence for quantum stability of the cosmological constant is illustrated in a number of examples including bulk descriptions in terms of delocalized degrees of freedom, boundary screen descriptions on stretched horizons, and nonsupersymmetric conformal field theories as dual descriptions of anti-de Sitter space. In an expanding universe, holographic quantum contributions to the stress-energy tensor are argued to be at most of order the energy density of the dominant matter component.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
