Abstract
We suggest to consider conformal factor dynamics as applying to compos ite bound states, in the framework of the 1/N expansion. In this way, a new model of effective theory for quantum gravity is obtained. The r enormalization group (RG) analysis of this model provides a framework to solve the cosmological constant problem, since the value of this co nstant turns out to be suppressed, as a result of the RG contributions . The effective potential for the conformal factor is also found.
