Bounces with O(3) x O(2) symmetry
Ali Masoumi, Erick J. Weinberg
We study the contribution to the decay of de Sitter vacua from bounces with O(3) x O(2) symmetry. These correspond to the thermal production of a vacuum bubble at the center of a h…

Bubble Nucleation of Spatial Vector Fields
Ali Masoumi, Xiao Xiao, I-Sheng Yang
We study domain-walls and bubble nucleation in a non-relativistic vector field theory with different longitudinal and transverse speeds of sound. We describe analytical and numeric…

Moving Stable Solitons in Galileon Theory
Ali Masoumi, Xiao Xiao
Despite the no-go theorem [5] which rules out static stable solitons in Galileon theory, we propose a family of solitons that evade the theorem by traveling at the speed of light.…
