Abstract

We show that a unique, most probable and stable solution for the wavefunction of the universe, with a very small cosmological constant Λ1 (πlp N)2, can be predicted from the supersymmetric minisuperspace with N vacua, of the landscape of string theory without reffering to the antropic principle. Due to the nearest neighbor tunneling in moduli space lattice, the N-fold degeneracy of vacua is lifted and a discrete spectrum of bound state levels over the whole minisuperspace emerges. SUSY is spontaneously broken by these bound states, with discrete nonzero energy levels Λs (s πlp N)2, s = 1,2,...
