Bubbles in Brans-Dicke theory
D S Goldwirth and H W Zaglauer
Show affiliationsUsing the thin-wall approximation the authors develop a scheme to describe the evolution of true vacuum bubbles in Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. They find four possible configurations depending on the surface energy density. The type of bubbles and the time of nucleation determines whether the bubbles recollapse or grow and ultimately expand with the speed of light, which in turn depends on the particle theory and the nucleation process. The big bubbles problem of extended inflation is solved in the case where bubbles recollapse or where the nucleation radius is comparable to the horizon size.
