We study the consequences of embedding their proposal into a fully local quantum theory. In the original work, the bare cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and a scaling parameter $\lambda$ are introduced as global fields. We find that in the local case the resulting Lagrangian is that of a spontaneously broken conformal field theory where $\lambda$ plays the role of the dilaton. A vanishing or a small cosmological constant is thus a consequence of the underlying conformal field theory structure.}, cin = {T}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)T-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611) / HZ-NG-603 - Strings and Cosmology - an Interface for Testing fundamental Theories $(2015_IFV-HZ-NG-603)$ / STRINGPHENOATLHC - String Phenomenology at the Era of LHC (328170)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611 / $G:(DE-HGF)2015_IFV-HZ-NG-603$ / G:(EU-Grant)328170}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)25 / PUB:(DE-HGF)29}, eprint = {1507.04158}, howpublished = {arXiv:1507.04158}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:1507.04158;\%\%$}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/221505}, }
