| Quantized cosmological constant in 1+1d gravity with scalar matter |
| Speaker: | Simone Zonetti (CP3 - Centre for Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium) |
| Abstract: | Considering a model of gravity in 1+1 dimensions non-minimally coupled to scalar matter I will show how the realization of quantum constraints on physical states provides a mathematical mechanism to derive the value of the cosmological constant, accounting for the quantum contributions of matter and gravity.
