Counting Vacua in Random Landscapes
Richard Easther, Alan H. Guth, Ali Masoumi
It is speculated that the correct theory of fundamental physics includes a large landscape of states, which can be described as a potential which is a function of N scalar fields a…
Efficient numerical solution to vacuum decay with many fields
Ali Masoumi, Ken D. Olum, Benjamin Shlaer
Finding numerical solutions describing bubble nucleation is notoriously difficult in more than one field space dimension. Traditional shooting methods fail because of the extreme n…
Solitons in generalized galileon theories
Mariana Carrillo-Gonzalez, Ali Masoumi, Adam R. Solomon +1
We consider the existence and stability of solitons in generalized galileons, scalar field theories with higher-derivative interactions but second-order equations of motion. It has…
