- Quantum multiverse
- Gravity-electroweak hierarchy problem
- Supersymmetry
- Extra dimensions
- Holography
- Black holes
Contributions to Field
- Larsen contributed to a (perhaps partial) solution to the cosmological constant problem by applying the quantum multiverse solution to the measure problem.
