We introduce a new picture of vacuum decay which, in contrast to existing semiclassical techniques, provides a real-time description and does not rely on classically-forbidden tunneling paths. Using lattice simulations, we observe vacuum…

The quantum decay of a relativistic scalar field from a metastable state ("false vacuum decay") is a fundamental idea in quantum field theory and cosmology. This occurs via local formation of bubbles of true vacuum with their subsequent…

In this talk, we study the impact of first order phase transitions with fast bubble walls on mechanisms of leptogenesis and baryogenesis. We begin our exploration with the usual leptogenesis where the breaking of $B-L$ occurs via a PT with…
