Why Zero-Point Vacuum Energy Is Not a Cosmological Prediction in Quantum Field Theory

Amos Jay Maley

Paper 1 - Orthodox QFT paper Title Why Zero-Point Vacuum Energy Is Not a Cosmological Prediction in Quantum Field Theory An Invariance-Based Analysis of the Cosmological Constant Problem Overview This paper analyzes the common claim that quantum field theory makes a catastrophically wrong prediction for the cosmological constant by summing zero-point vacuum modes. The central claim is that the zero-point estimate does not constitute a standalone cosmological prediction. The regulated vacuum-energy expression dep...
