New bounce solutions and vacuum tunneling in de Sitter spacetime

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

I describe a class of oscillating bounce solutions to the Euclidean field equations for gravity coupled to a scalar field theory with multiple vacua. I discuss their implications for vacuum tunneling transitions and for elucidating the thermal nature of de Sitter spacetime.
