Abstract:
This is a review of the physics and cosmology of the cosmological
constant. Focusing on recent developments, I present a pedagogical
overview of cosmology in the presence of a cosmological constant,
observational constraints on its magnitude, and the physics of a
small (and potentially nonzero) vacuum energy.
