False vacuum decay in a brane world cosmological model

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-08-18 v3

Abstract

The false vacuum decay in a brane world model is studied in this work. We investigate the vacuum decay via the Coleman-de Luccia instanton, derive explicit approximative expressions for the Coleman-de Luccia instanton which is close to a Hawking-Moss instanton and compare the results with those already obtained within Einstein's theory of relativity.
