We look at vacuum solutions for fields confined in cavities where the boundary conditions can rule out constant field configurations, other than the zero field. If the zero field is unstable, symmetry breaking can occur to a field…
Vacuum stability requires that the scalar potential is bounded from below. Whether or not this is true depends on the scalar quartic interactions alone, but even so the analysis is arduous and has only been carried out for a limited set of…
The orbit space for a scalar field in a complex square matrix representation obtains a Minkowski space structure from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. It can be used to find vacuum stability conditions and minima of the scalar potential. The…
The scalar potential of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) may have more than one local minimum and the usually considered vacuum could be located at one of them that could decay to another. This paper studies the condition that the usually…
We consider a formalism to describe the false-vacuum decay of a scalar field in gauge theories in non-perturbative regimes. We find that the larger the gauge coupling with respect to the self-coupling of the scalar, the shallower the local…
We discuss how the Cholesky decomposition may be used to ascertain whether a critical point of the field theory scalar potential provides a stable vacuum configuration. We then use this method to derive the stability conditions in a…
