Frictionless UV-finite Instantons in Curved Spacetime
Mulham Hijazi, Apostolos Pilaftsis
We identify a new class of UV-complete instanton solutions that describe the false vacuum\- decay of a real scalar field in a particular curved spacetime background. To this end, w…

Goldstone Boson Effects on Vacuum Decay
Mulham Hijazi, Apostolos Pilaftsis
We study the effects of Goldstone modes on the stability of the vacuum in a theory for a complex scalar field. The dynamics of the field resemble those of Keplerian motion i…
