- Anthropic Bound on the Cosmological Constant | Phys. Rev. Lett.
In recent cosmological models, there is an "anthropic" upper bound on the cosmological constant 𝛬 It is argued here that in universes that do not recollapse, the only such bound on 𝛬 is that it should not be so large as to prevent the formation of gravitationally bound states
- Anthropic Bound on the Cosmological Constant
A cosmological constant that is within 1 or 2 orders of magnitude of its upper bound would help with the missing-mass and age problems, but may be ruled out by galaxy number counts

These anthropic considerations can therefore provide a solution to both the old and the new cosmological constant problems, provided of course that the underlying assumptions are valid

The old cosmological constant problem is to understand why the vacuum energy is so small; the new problem is to understand why it is comparable to the present mass density
