摘要: These lectures on the cosmological constant problem were prepared for X Mexican School Gravitation and Mathematical Physics. The itself is explained in detail, emphasising importance of radiative instability need to repeatedly fine tune as we change our effective description. Weinberg's no go theorem worked through detail. I review a number proposals including Linde's universe multiplication, Coleman's wormholes, fat graviton, SLED, name few. Large distance modifications gravity are also discussed, with causality considerations pointing towards global modification being most sensible option. nature emphasized, result, sequestering scenario reviewed some demonstrating cancellation Standard Model vacuum energy General Relativity.
