Vacuum Energy Problem, Fundamental Length and Deformed Quantum Field Theory

Abstract

The cosmological constant (vacuum energy) problem is analyzed within the scope of quantum theories with UV-cut-off or fundamental length. Various cases associated with the appearance of the latter are considered both using the Generalized Uncertainty Relations and the deformed density matrix,previously introduced in the author's works. The use of the deformed density matrix is examined in detail. It is demonstrated that, provided the Fischler-Susskind cosmic holographic conjecture is valid, the Vacuum Energy Density takes a value close to the experimental one. The arguments supporting the validity of this conjecture are given on the basis of the recently obtained results on Gravitational Holography.
