False Vacuum Decay Rate From Thin To Thick Walls
Marco Matteini, Miha Nemevšek, Yutaro Shoji +1
We consider a single real scalar field in flat spacetime with a polynomial potential up to , that has a local minimum, the false vacuum, and a deeper global minimum, the true…
Analytic false-vacuum decay rate in the thin-wall approximation
Marco Matteini, Miha Nemevšek, Lorenzo Ubaldi
We present a fully analytical calculation of the false vacuum decay rate for a self-interacting scalar field in the thin-wall approximation. We obtain the bounce solution, together…
Analytic thin wall false vacuum decay rate
Aleksandar Ivanov, Marco Matteini, Miha Nemevšek +1
We derive a closed-form false vacuum decay rate at one loop in the thin wall limit, where the true and false vacua are nearly degenerate. We obtain the bounce configuration in …
Some Remarks on Anthropic Approaches to the Strong CP Problem
Michael Dine, Laurel Stephenson Haskins, Lorenzo Ubaldi +1
The peculiar value of is a challenge to the notion of an anthropic landscape. We briefly review the possibility that a suitable axion might arise from an anthropic requirement…
Supersymmetric QCD: Exact Results and Strong Coupling
Michael Dine, Guido Festuccia, Lawrence Pack +3
We revisit two longstanding puzzles in supersymmetric gauge theories. The first concerns the question of the holomorphy of the coupling, and related to this the possible definition…
Axions in Gauge Mediation
Linda M. Carpenter, Michael Dine, Guido Festuccia +1
In supersymmetric theories, the presence of axions usually implies the existence of a non-compact, (pseudo)moduli space. In gauge mediated models, the axion would seem a particular…
