Abstract: In this paper, a framework is introduced to remove the huge discrepancy between the empirical value of the cosmological constant and the contribution to the cosmological constant predicted from the vacuum energy of quantum fields. An extra-dimensional space with metric reversal symmetry and R2 gravity (that reduces to the usual R gravity after integration over extra dimensions) is considered to this end. The resulting four-dimensional energy-momentum tensor (obtained after integration over extra dimensions) consists of terms that contain off-diagonally coupled pairs of Kaluza-Klein modes. This, in turn, generically results in the vanishing of the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor for quantum fields, and offers a way to solve the problem of huge contribution of quantum fields to the vacuum energy density.
