Resonant Tunneling in Superfluid Helium-3
S. -H. Henry Tye, Daniel Wohns
The phase and the phase of superfluid He-3 are well studied, both theoretically and experimentally. The decay time scale of the phase to the phase of a typical supe…
A Brachistochrone Approach to Reconstruct the Inflaton Potential
Daniel Wohns, Jiajun Xu, S. -H. Henry Tye
We propose a new way to implement an inflationary prior to a cosmological dataset that incorporates the inflationary observables at arbitrary order. This approach employs an expone…
Resonant Tunneling in Scalar Quantum Field Theory
S. -H. Henry Tye, Daniel Wohns
The resonant tunneling phenomenon is well understood in quantum mechanics. We argue why a similar phenomenon must be present in quantum field theory. We then use the functional Sch…
Coleman-de Luccia Tunneling and the Gibbons-Hawking Temperature
S. -H. Henry Tye, Daniel Wohns, Yang Zhang
We study Coleman-de Luccia tunneling in some detail. We show that, for a single scalar field potential with a true and a false vacuum, there are four types of tunneling, depending…
Hawking-Moss Tunneling with a Dirac-Born-Infeld Action
Daniel Wohns
The Hawking-Moss tunneling rate for a field described by the Dirac-Born-Infeld action is calculated using a stochastic approach. We find that the effect of the non-trivial kinetic…
