Solitons and Instantons in Vacuum Stability: Physical Phenomena

In a previous paper (JCAP06, 033, 2018), we have proved that it is possible to have a stable false vacuum in a potential that is unbounded from below. In this paper, we discuss the physics related to our theoretical and numerical results. We show that the results of recent CERN experiments lead to t...

Description
Summary:In a previous paper (JCAP06, 033, 2018), we have proved that it is possible to have a stable false vacuum in a potential that is unbounded from below. In this paper, we discuss the physics related to our theoretical and numerical results. We show that the results of recent CERN experiments lead to the fact that our vacuum is safe. We present a new mechanism, where the space-time dimension plays an important role that explains why our universe is stable. We provide new evidence that supports a process for the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry recently introduced by other scientists. We examine confinement in the context of escape problems. We discuss multiverse, string theory landscape, and extra-dimensions using our framework. Finally, we use our solutions to introduce some hypotheses about dark matter and dark energy.
