On the vacuum energy in Bohmian mechanics
Description
We consider a universe consisting of a finite number of electrons on Bohmian trajectories. We derive a quasi-vacuum solution for the Schrödinger equation of the electron-system and establish a corresponding invariant vacuum energy density Λ. The result sheds light on some fundamental issues regarding the vacuum and the cosmological constant. (paper)
