Estimating vacuum tunneling rates

Year: 1997
Type: article
Abstract: In Euclidean field theories, a rigorous upper bound on the action of the bounce with the least action can be obtained by finite numerical methods because the bounce with the least action is the global minimum of the action in an open space. The corresponding lower bound on the tunneling rate is easily computed by a new method of “reduction”.
