Global shift symmetry and vacuum energy of matter fields
Abstract
We construct the model incorporating both an arbitrary shift of cosmological constant and Goldstone boson corresponding to the spontaneous breaking down the global shift symmetry in the matter action. The gravity breaks down the symmetry explicitly and transforms the Goldstone boson to the inflaton field.
