Cosmic bubble and domain wall instabilities III: The role of oscillons in three-dimensional bubble collisions
J. Richard Bond, Jonathan Braden, Laura Mersini-Houghton
We study collisions between pairs of bubbles nucleated in an ambient false vacuum. For the first time, we include the effects of small initial (quantum) fluctuations around the ins…

Cosmic bubble and domain wall instabilities II: Fracturing of colliding walls
Jonathan Braden, J. Richard Bond, Laura Mersini-Houghton
We study collisions between nearly planar domain walls including the effects of small initial nonplanar fluctuations. These perturbations represent the small fluctuations that must…
