The mystery of the cosmological constant is probably the most pressing obstacle to significantly improving the models of elementary particle physics derived from string theory. The problem arises because in the standard framework of low energy physics, there appears to be no natural explanation for vanishing or extreme smallness of the vacuum energy, while on the other hand it is very difficult to modify this framework in a sensible way. In seeking to resolve this problem, one naturally wonders if the real world can somehow be interpreted in terms of a vacuum state with unbroken supersymmetry.

  1. Inflation in non-local hybrid metric-Palatini gravity

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-local hybrid metric-Palatini gravity generically contains ghosts, but a degenerate subclass with metric f(R) gravity plus Palatini non-local terms is ghost-free and can drive slow-roll inflation resembling Starobi...

  2. Dynamical system analysis of the cosmological phases in Palatini $k$-essence gravity

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Massive Gravity @ 15

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted

    A status review arguing that ghost-free massive gravity remains a theoretically consistent and phenomenologically viable infrared modification of General Relativity, with open UV questions.
