Black holes don't source fast Higgs vacuum decay
arXiv:2209.05504 · doi:10.1007/JHEP03(2023)039
Abstract
We argue that the rate of Standard Model vacuum or thermal decay seeded by primordial black holes is negligible (because non-perturbatively suppressed by the small quartic Higgs coupling) and independent of the non-minimal coupling of the Higgs to gravity.
