The number of negative modes of the oscillating bounces
arXiv:gr-qc/0602039 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.73.083513
Abstract
The spectrum of small perturbations about oscillating bounce solutions recently discussed in the literature is investigated. Our study supports quite intuitive and expected result: the bounce with N nodes has exactly N homogeneous negative modes. Existence of more than one negative modes makes obscure the relation of these oscillating bounce solutions to the false vacuum decay processes.
