Adam R. Brown, Saswat Sarangi, Benjamin Shlaer +1
Stringy effects on vacuum transitions are shown to include surprisingly large decay rates through very high potential barriers. This simple, yet counter-intuitive result will drast…

Thermal derivation of the Coleman-De Luccia tunneling prescription
Adam R. Brown, Erick J. Weinberg
We derive the rate for transitions between de Sitter vacua by treating the field theory on the static patch as a thermal system. This reproduces the Coleman-De Luccia formalism for…
