Vacuum metastability with black holes
Philipp Burda, Ruth Gregory, Ian Moss
We consider the possibility that small black holes can act as nucleation seeds for the decay of a metastable vacuum, focussing particularly on the Higgs potential. Using a thin-wal…

Gravity and the stability of the Higgs vacuum
Philipp Burda, Ruth Gregory, Ian Moss
We discuss the effect of gravitational interactions on the lifetime of the Higgs vacuum where generic quantum gravity corrections are taken into account. We show how small black ho…
