Abstract
In the framework of classical field theory, we try to explain why the effective cosmological constant is so small. The basis of the attempt is a Higgs field that shall determine the global structure of the universe. Einstein's theory of gravitation does not allow one to realize the idea. But we are successful if we start from some variant of the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation, choosing for the parameters that enter the Lagrangean of the Higgs field the Compton length of a proton and Eddington's number as self-coupling constant.
