We study physics concerning the cosmological constant problem in the framework of effective field theory and suggest that a dominant part of dark energy can originate from gravitational corrections of vacuum energy, under the assumption that the classical gravitational fields do not couple to a large portion of the vacuum energy effectively, in spite of the coupling between graviton and matters at a microscopic level. Our speculation is excellent with terascale supersymmetry.

We construct two distinct brane solutions in six dimensional effective field theory models. The CP 1 sigma model and the baby skyrmion realize warped compactification of the extra dimensions for negative bulk cosmological constant. Higher winding number solutions of the baby skyrmion are also presented.

In an effective field theory model with an ultraviolet momentum cutoff, there is a relation between the effective equation-of-state of dark energy and the ultraviolet cutoff scale. It implies that a measure of the equation of state of dark energy different from minus one, ω ≠ -1, does not rule out vacuum energy as dark energy. It also indicates an interesting possibility that precise measurements of the infrared properties of dark energy can be used to probe the ultraviolet cutoff scale of effective quantum field theory coupled to gravity. In a toy model with a vacuum energy-dominated universe with a Planck scale cutoff, the dark energy effective equation of state is w eff ≈ -0.96.
