abstract

The old cosmological constant problem is to understand why the vacuum energy is so small; the new problem is to understand why it is comparable to the present mass density. Several approaches to these problems are reviewed. Quintessence does not help with either; anthropic considerations offer a possibility of solving both. In theories with a scalar field that takes random initial values, the anthropic principle may apply to the cosmological constant, but probably to nothing else.

Measuring neutrino mass in light of ACT DR6 and DESI DR2

astro-ph.CO · 2026-03-11 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

New ACT and DESI data yield model-dependent upper limits on sum of neutrino masses, with holographic dark energy giving the tightest bounds and a consistent preference for degenerate hierarchy.

The Intrinsic and Extrinsic Hierarchy Problems

hep-ph · 2025-06-05 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The Hierarchy Problem splits into Intrinsic (RG-induced cutoff sensitivity) and Extrinsic (UV augmentation making IR theory appear finetuned) versions, with the latter formalized as a paradox whose solutions are classified by premise violations.

Cosmological searches for the neutrino mass scale and mass ordering

astro-ph.CO · 2019-07-18 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Thesis summarizing an upper limit of 0.12 eV on the neutrino mass sum, bias calibration via CMB lensing cross-correlations, and tighter limits plus stronger normal-ordering preference in non-phantom dynamical dark energy models.

  • Dynamical system analysis of the cosmological phases in Palatini $k$-essence gravity gr-qc · 2025-11-24 · unverdicted · none · ref 13 · internal anchor

    Dynamical systems analysis of a Palatini k-essence model identifies fixed points for quasi-de-Sitter epochs, scaling solutions, and quintessence phases connected by heteroclinic orbits in flat FLRW cosmology.
