| Description | HE Seminar Speaker: Alex Dahlen (Princeton) Title: The Fastest Decay in the Landscape Host: Nemanja Room: 416 Abstract:Theories with extra dimensions naturally give rise to a large landscape of vacua stabilized by flux. I will show that the fastest decay is a giant leap to a wildly distant minimum, in which many different fluxes discharge at once. Indeed, the fastest decay is frequently the giantest leap of all, which discharges all the flux and begets a bubble of nothing. Finally, I will discuss how these giant leaps are mediated by the nucleation of "monkey branes" which wrap the extra dimensions. |
