I agree in general that there is a fine tuning problem with the cc coming from quantum effects. But I thought the Casimir effect isn't evidence of this since it can be calculated without using zero-energy, like in http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0503158? |
I always found it interesting that Jaffe's paper does not mention what might be called the topological Casimir effect. In this case the fields are confined by the topology of compact space instead of by any "perfectly conducting sheets" and so forth. Naively, it seems that there is no coupling dependence in such a situation.
