Gravitational effects on critical Q-balls
Dimitrios Metaxas
In a cosmological phase transition in theories that admit Q-balls there is a value of the soliton charge above which the soliton becomes unstable and expands, converting space to t…

Gauge independence of the bubble nucleation rate in theories with radiative symmetry breaking
Dimitrios Metaxas, Erick J. Weinberg
In field theories where a metastable false vacuum state arises as a result of radiative corrections, the calculation of the rate of false vacuum decay by bubble nucleation depends…
