Properties of the false vacuum as an unstable state. (English) Zbl 1286.83109
Summary: The false (unstable) vacuum is discussed from the point of view of the quantum theory of unstable states. Properties of the energy of the system in the unstable vacuum state are studied. Within the model considered, it is shown that at very late times, the energy of the system in the false vacuum state tends to the energy of the system in the true vacuum state as \(1/t^{2}\).
