SUMMARY

The AdS4 radius is definitively related to the cosmological constant by the equation \(\Lambda = \frac{-3}{b^{2}}\). This relationship holds true specifically in four dimensions. In a more generalized context, the cosmological constant \(\Lambda\) is expressed as \(\Lambda = -\frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2\ell^2}\) for any dimension \(d\). Thus, the relationship between the AdS radius and the cosmological constant varies depending on the number of dimensions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Anti-de Sitter space (AdS)
  • Familiarity with cosmological constants in theoretical physics
  • Knowledge of dimensional analysis in physics
  • Basic grasp of mathematical notation in physics equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of varying dimensions on cosmological constants
  • Study the properties of Anti-de Sitter space in higher dimensions
  • Explore the role of the cosmological constant in general relativity
  • Investigate the mathematical derivation of the relationship \(\Lambda = -\frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2\ell^2}\)
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, cosmologists, and students studying general relativity and higher-dimensional theories.

The AdS4 radius is related to the cosmological constant by \Lambda =\frac{-3}{b^{2}}.

Is this true in any number of dimensions, or is there a generalised relation depending on number of dimensions n?

In generic dimension d, the cosmological constant is related to AdS radius via \Lambda=-\frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2\ell^2}.
