By demanding the existence of a globally invariant ground-state solution of the Wheeler–De Witt equation (Schrödinger equation) for the wave function of the Universe Ψ, obtained from the heterotic superstring theory, in the four-dimensional Friedmann space-time, we prove that the cosmological vacuum energy has to be zero.

In this paper, we consider the following Schrödinger equation (0.1) − Δ u − μ u | x | 2 + V ( x ) u = K ( x ) | u | 2 ∗ − 2 u + f ( x , u ) , x ∈ R N , u ∈ H 1 ( R N ) , where N ⩾ 4, 0 ⩽ μ < μ ‾, μ ‾ = ( N − 2 ) 2 4 , V is periodic in x, K and f are asymptotically periodic in x, we take advantage of the generalized Nehari manifold approach developed by Szulkin and Weth to look for the ground state solution of (0.1).

We are interested in the positive doubly periodic solutions, which are even in each variable, of a stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equation in ℝ2, with a small parameter. For any pair of periods (2a, 2b), we construct a branch of solutions that concentrate uniformly to the ground-state solution of the equation.

The Universe

The Wheeler–DeWitt equation ℋΨ=0 for the wave function of the Universe Ψ can be written, in the Friedmann space–time (mini-superspace approximation) [Formula: see text], as the Schrödinger equation [Formula: see text], where ξ≡ dα/dt. The meaning of the pseudo-Hamiltonian [Formula: see text], which reduces to the potential V at low energies, is discussed both classically and quantum theoretically, this equation gives rise to a local gravitational Schrödinger equation which has been verified in the neutron interferometry experiment of Colella et al. By demanding the existence of a global ground state with nonvanishing probability density ΨΨ* for which V=0 (implying the vanishing of the cosmological constant), we argue that this experiment also constitutes evidence for the whole quantization procedure.
