Based on PRD74, 123520 (2006), PRD75, 103506 (2007), arXiv:0710.4599 [hep-th]

- Nov. 30.(Fri.) 2007
The plan of this talk
1. Motivations, 2. False vacuum bubble nucleation due to a
nonminimally coupled scalar field 1) Numerical calculation 2) Thin-wall approximation
3. The dynamics of a false vacuum bubble : the junction equations
4. Summary and discussions
1. Motivations -I
What is the origin of our universe?
1) Is our universe created from nothing?
2) Is our universe created from something?
3) Can the universe create itself?
1. Motivations -II(1) What did the spacetime look like in the very early universe? - Wheeler’s spacetime foam structure - The cosmological constant as a dynamical variable Can we obtain the mechanism for the nucleation of a false vacuum bubble? Can a false vacuum bubble expand within the true vacuum background?
(2) The idea of the string theory landscape has a vast number of metastable vacua. Which mechanism worked to select our universe in this landscape?
Can we be in the vacuum with positive cosmological constant ?(through an alternative way to KKLT, for example)
2. The Einstein theory of gravity with a nonminimally
coupled scalar fieldVacuum-to-vacuum phase transition rate

Two types related to this formalism
(1) Boundary surface
(2) Surface layer In this case it is related to the discontinuity of the extrinsic curvature of the surface. We consider thin-wall partitions bulk spacetime into two distinct manifolds
and with boundaries and , respectively. To obtain the single glued manifold
we demand that the boundaries are identified as follows:
0ijS
0ijS
3. The dynamics of a false vacuum bubble : the junction

We consider the action

In this framework, junction condition becomes

There are parameter regions including that both and are positive in all ranges of

4. Summary and Discussions• The false vacuum bubble can be nucleated within the true vacuum background with a nonminimally coupled scalar field
• expect the phenomenon be possible in many other theories of gravity with similar terms. • A false vacuum bubble with minimal coupling, without singularity in their past, can expand within the true vacuum background with nonminimal coupling.• An expanding false vacuum bubble is not inside the horizon of a black hole from outside observer’s point of view. • Can it be a model for the accelerating expanding universe?
Thank you for
your attention!
