摘要

真空衰变和对称破缺在物质的基本结构和宇宙的演化中起着重要作用。在这项工作中，我们研究了基本场对黑洞的吸积的纯经典效应如何在对称破缺阶段中导致对称恢复的壳层。我们还展示了它如何催化真空衰变，形成一个以光速渐近膨胀的气泡。这些效应为在宇宙中播种相变提供了一种替代的、纯经典的量子隧道机制。2025年由美国物理学会出版

Symmetry restoration and vacuum decay from accretion around black holes

Vacuum decay and symmetry breaking play an important role in the fundamental structure of the matter and the evolution of the Universe. In this work we study how the purely classical effect of accretion of fundamental fields onto black holes can lead to shells of symmetry restoration in the midst of a symmetry broken phase. We also show how it can catalyze vacuum decay, forming a bubble that expands asymptotically at the speed of light. These effects offer an alternative, purely classical mechanism to quantum tunneling for seeding phase transitions in the Universe.
