Abstract
We address the cosmological constant problem in the context of two-dimensional dilaton-Maxwell gravity, coupled to an arbitrary number of scalar matter fields. We are able to quantize the model non-perturbatively; we determine that the realization of the classical symmetries at the quantum level provides a mechanism that fixes the value of the cosmological constant.
