Goldstone boson effects on vacuum decay
We study the effects of Goldstone modes on the stability of the vacuum in a U(1) theory for a complex scalar field. The dynamics of the field resemble those of Keplerian motion in the presence of time-dependent friction, whose equations of motion imply a conserved quantity, L, reminiscent of conserv...
