Some Remarks on Anthropic Approaches to the Strong CP Problem

Michael Dine, Laurel Stephenson Haskins, Lorenzo Ubaldi, Di Xu

英文摘要:

The peculiar value of $θ$ is a challenge to the notion of an anthropic landscape. We briefly review the possibility that a suitable axion might arise from an anthropic requirement of dark matter. We then consider an alternative suggestion of Kaloper and Terning that $θ$ might be correlated with the cosmological constant. We note that in a landscape one expects that $θ$ is determined by the expectation value of one or more axions. We discuss how a discretuum of values of $θ$ might arise with an energy distribution dominated by QCD, and find the requirements to be quite stringent. Given such a discretuum, we find limited circumstances where small $θ$ might be selected by anthropic requirements on the cosmological constant.
