Abstract
Bubble growth as a detonation is studied in the context of cosmological phase transitions. It is proved that the so called Chapman-Jouguet hypothesis, which restricts the types of detonations that can occur in spherically symmetric chemical burning, does not hold in the case of phase transitions. Therefore a much larger class of detonation solutions exists in phase transitions than in chemical burning.
