Cosmological constant: Relaxation vs multiverse
We consider a scalar field with a bottom-less potential, such as g3ϕ, finding that cosmologies unavoidably end up with a crunch, late enough to be compatible with observations if g≲1.2H02/3MPl1/3. If rebounces avoid singularities, the multiverse acquires new features; in particular probabilities avo...
