1109.4915 (V. Emelyanov et al.)

Possible solution to the main cosmological constant problem    [PDF]

V. Emelyanov, F. R. Klinkhamer
A modified-gravity-type model of two hypothetical massless vector fields is presented. These vector fields are gravitationally coupled to standard matter and an effective cosmological constant. Considered in a cosmological context, the vector fields dynamically cancel an arbitrary cosmological constant, and flat Minkowski spacetime appears as the limit of attractor-type solutions of the field equations. Asymptotically, the field equations give rise to a standard Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe and standard Newtonian gravitational dynamics of small-scale systems.
