Lifetimes of (near) eternal false vacua

Cherman, Aleksey, Jacobson, Theodore

Understand

We consider examples of long-lived false vacua in quantum field theory that arise from so-called `universes'.

These false vacua are protected by a $(d-1)$-form global symmetry, where $d$ is the dimension of spacetime.
The lifetimes of the false vacua are set by UV data: the tension of $(d-2)$-branes charged under a $(d-2)$-form gauge symmetry.
The lifetimes can be made parametrically long even when the difference in energy density between the false and true vacua is large compared to the natural scales of the field theory.
