Brane-induced decay of the Kaluza-Klein vacuum
arXiv:hep-th/0207172 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2002/10/065
Abstract
The enhancement in the decay rate of the Kaluza-Klein vacuum due to the presence of a brane is studied, both in the test brane approximation and beyond it. Spontaneous brane materialization in the Kaluza-Klein vacuum is also described.
