Transdimensional Tunneling in the Multiverse
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Delia Schwartz-Perlov, Alexander Vilenkin
Topology-changing transitions between vacua of different effective dimensionality are studied in the context of a 6-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory. The landscape of this theor…

Quantum Tunneling in Flux Compactifications
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Delia Schwartz-Perlov, Alexander Vilenkin
We identify instantons representing vacuum decay in a 6-dimensional toy model for string theory flux compactifications, with the two extra dimensions compactified on a sphere. We e…
