چکیده
A bstract We derive a closed-form false vacuum decay rate at one loop in the thin wall limit, where true and vacua are nearly degenerate. obtain bounce configuration D dimensions, together with Euclidean action higher order correction, counter-terms renormalization group running. extract functional determinant via Gel’fand-Yaglom theorem for low generic orbital multipoles. The negative zero eigenvalues appear multipoles translational zeroes removed. compute fluctuations multipoles, multiply regulate modes. find an explicit finite renormalized = 3 , 4 give expression any dimension.

Beyond the thin-wall approximation : precise numerical computation of prefactors in false vacuum decay
Abstract We present a general numerical method for computing precisely the false vacuum decay rate, including the prefactor due to quantum fluctuations about the classical bounce solution, in a selfinteracting scalar field theory modeling the process of nucleation in four dimensional spacetime. This technique does not rely on the thin-wall approximation. The method is based on the GelfandYaglom...
متن کاملFalse Vacuum Decay after Inflation
Inflation is terminated by a non-equilibrium process which finally leads to a thermal state. We study the onset of this transition in a class of hybrid inflation models. The exponential growth of tachyonic modes leads to decoherence and spinodal decomposition. We compute the decoherence time, the spinodal time, the size of the formed domains and the homogeneous classical fields within a single ...
متن کاملParticle decay in false vacuum
We revisit the problem of decay of a metastable vacuum induced by the presence of a particle. For the bosons of the 'master field' the problem is solved in any number of dimensions in terms of the spontaneous decay rate of the false vacuum, while for a fermion we find a closed expression for the decay rate in (1+1) dimensions. It is shown that in the (1+1) dimensional case an infrared problem o...
متن کاملTheoretical Astrophysics OU - TAP - 111 UTAP - 358 False Vacuum Decay with Gravity in Non - Thin - Wall Limit
We consider a wave-function approach to the false vacuum decay with gravity and present a new method to calculate the tunneling amplitude under the WKB approximation. The result agrees with the one obtained by the Euclidean path-integral method, but gives a much clearer interpretation of an instanton (Euclidean bounce solution) that dominates the path integral. In particular, our method is full...
متن کاملFalse Vacuum Decay Induced by Particle Collisions
The semiclassical formalism for numerical calculation of the rate of tunneling transitions induced by N particles with total energy E of order or higher than the height of the barrier is developed. The formalism is applied to the induced false vacuum decay in the massive four-dimensional −λφ model. The decay rate, as a function of E and N , is calculated numerically in the range 0.4 ∼< E/Esph ∼...
