False vacuum decay in field theory may be formulated as a boundary value problem in Euclidean space. In a previous work, we studied its solution in single scalar field theories with quadratic gravity and used it to find obstructions to…

A new cosmological model implies that dR/dt is constant for both t > t_c and t goes to 0, and that dR^2/dt is proportional to n_s^-1 for t_c > t > 0. Here R(t) is the cosmic scale factor, t_c is a crossover time defined in the text, and n_s…

We use the method of the superpotential to derive exact solutions describing inflationary cosmologies in multi-field models. An example that describes a solution that interpolates between two de Sitter universes is described in detail. New…

We consider the evolution of FRW cosmological models and linear perturbations of tachyon matter rolling towards a minimum of its potential. The tachyon coupled to gravity is described by an effective 4d field theory of string theory…

This paper invokes a new mechanism for reducing a coupled system of fields (including Einstein's equations without a cosmological constant) to equations that possess solutions exhibiting characteristics of immediate relevance to current…

We show that all solutions to the vacuum Einstein field equations may be mapped to instanton configurations of the Ashtekar variables. These solutions are characterized by properties of the moduli space of the instantons. We exhibit…

We study a real tachyon vacuum solution in cubic superstring field theory that avoids square roots and phantom terms. Using this new solution, we evaluate the vacuum energy and obtain a result consistent with Sen's conjecture. Additionally,…

The double copy is a much-studied relationship between gauge theory and gravity amplitudes. Recently, this was generalised to an infinite family of classical solutions to Einstein's equations, namely stationary Kerr-Schild geometries. In…

We investigate the case of a homogeneous tachyon field coupled to gravity in a spatially flat Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetime. Assuming the field evolution to be exponentially decaying with time we solve the field equations and show…

Mutidimensional cosmological models with $n\left( n\geq 2\right) $ Einstein spaces $M_i\left( i=1,\ldots ,n\right) $ are investigated. The cosmological constant and homogeneous minimally coupled scalar field as a matter sources are…

We study a tachyon model with non-minimal derivative coupling to gravity in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker flat cosmology. We propose the special re-definition of the tachyon field which allows us to represent tachyon field equation…

When it comes to the topological aspects, gravity may have profound effects even at the level of particle physics despite its negligibly small relative strength well below the Planck scale. In spite of this intriguing possibility,…

We present a new analytic time dependent solution of cubic string field theory at the lowest order in the level truncation scheme. The tachyon profile we have found is a bounce in time, a $C^{\infty}$ function which represents an almost…

The tunneling potential formalism, an alternative to the standard Coleman Euclidean approach, offers in a natural way a unified view of vacuum decays. In particular, I show in this talk how Coleman's bounce is just a member of a continuous…

Making use of ansatzs for the form fields in the 10d type IIA supergravity version of the ABJM model, we come with a solution in the Euclidean signature recognized as a monopole instanton-like object. Indeed we will see that we can have a…

The anisotropic Bianchi type I in multi-scalar field cosmology is studied with a particular potential of the form $\rm V= V_0 e^{-\left[\lambda_1 \phi_1 + \cdots + \lambda_n \phi_n \right]}\,,$ which emerges as a condition between the time…

We investigate two-dimensional turbulence within the Instanton formalism which determines the most probable field in a stochastic classical field theory starting from the Martin-Siggia-Rose path integral. We perform an approximate analysis…

I present an informal overview of several recent results about Euclidean saddle points sourced by axion fields in quantum gravity (AdS/CFT), such as wormholes, their extremal "D-instanton" limits and their under-extremal singular…

A new approach to tackle Einstein equations for an isotropic and homogeneous Friedmann--Robertson--Walker Universe in the presence of a quintessence scalar field is devised. It provides a way to get a simple exact solution to these…

We provide the first example of a cosmological solution of the Horava-Witten supergravity. This solution is obtained by exchanging the role of time with the radial coordinate of the transverse space to the five-brane soliton. On the…
