Renormalizing the vacuum energy in cosmological spacetime: implications for the cosmological constant problem

Abstract The renormalization of the vacuum energy in quantum field theory (QFT) is usually plagued with theoretical conundrums related not only with the renormalization procedure itself, but also with the fact that the final result leads usually to very large (finite) contributions incompatible with...
