Title:   The cosmological constant problem in the spincube model of quantum gravity
Abstract:
The cosmological constant problem is one of the main unsolved problems in quantum field theory, and it is expected to be somehow resolved within the context of some theory of quanutm gravity. As it turns out, the spincube model of quantum gravity indeed does offer a plausible resolution of the cosmological constant problem. We will present the results obtained so far in this direction, as well as some issues that require further research.
