On the catalysis of the electroweak vacuum decay by black holes at high temperature

Abstract We study the effect of primordial black holes on the classical rate of nucleation of AdS regions within the standard electroweak vacuum at high temperature. We base our analysis on the assumption that, at temperatures much higher than the Hawking temperature, the main effect of the black ho...
