An application of the renormalization group to the calculation of the vacuum decay rate in flat and curved space-time
arXiv:hep-ph/0412182 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.75.047701
Abstract
I show that an application of renormalization group arguments may lead to significant corrections to the vacuum decay rate for phase transitions in flat and curved space-time. It can also give some information regarding its dependence on the parameters of the theory, including the cosmological constant in the case of decay in curved space-time.
