In the citing paper
“As soon as the decay rate per unit space time volume Γ of the false vacuum is non zero, the asymptotic space is not dS.”
From The cosmological Higgstory of the vacuum instability (2015) · cites this paper as [72]
In the citing paper
“There are two critical values of the decay rate [72], both valued around H 4 Λ , with H Λ being the Hubble rate of the would-be de Sitter region.”
From The cosmological Higgstory of the vacuum instability (2015) · cites this paper as [72]
In the citing paper
“Finally, when the decay rate is even slower than the second critical point, then bubbles do not percolate, and the asymptotic spacetime is the one called 'false vacuum eternal inflation'.”
From The cosmological Higgstory of the vacuum instability (2015) · cites this paper as [72]
In the citing paper
“The precise value of the second critical point is unknown, but is bounded to be in the range [72] 1.1 × 10 -6 ≤ Γ 1 /H 4 Λ ≤ 0.24.”
From The cosmological Higgstory of the vacuum instability (2015) · cites this paper as [72]
In the citing paper
“If the decay rate lies between these two critical points, then bubbles percolate and long chains of bubbles form, connecting arbitrarily distant point in the otherwise dS space.”
From The cosmological Higgstory of the vacuum instability (2015) · cites this paper as [72]

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
