A tunneling bounce driving the decay of a metastable vacuum must respect an integral constraint dictated by simple scaling arguments that is very useful to determine key properties of the bounce. After illustrating how this works in a simple toy model, the Standard Model Higgs potential is considered, including quartic coupling running and gravitational corrections as sources of scale invariance breaking. This approach clarifies the existence of the bounce and leads to simple and accurate analytical results in an expansion in the breaking parameters. Using the so-called tunneling-potential approach (generalized for nonminimal coupling to gravity) the integral constraint and the tunneling action are extended to second order in perturbations.

The precise values of the running quark and lepton masses $m^{}_f(mu)$, which are defined in the modified minimal subtraction scheme ($overline{rm MS}$) with $mu$ being the renormalization scale and the subscript $f$ referring to all the charged ferm
ions in the Standard Model (SM), are very useful for the model building of fermion masses and flavor mixing and for the precision calculations in the SM or its new-physics extensions. In this paper, we calculate the running fermion masses by taking account of the up-to-date experimental results collected by Particle Data Group and the latest theoretical higher-order calculations of relevant renormalization-group equations and matching conditions in the literature. The emphasis is placed on the quantitative estimation of current uncertainties on the running fermion masses, and the linear error propagation method is adopted to quantify the uncertainties, which has been justified by the Monte-Carlo simulations. We identify two main sources of uncertainties, i.e., one from the experimental inputs and the other from the truncations at finite-order loops. The correlations among the uncertainties of running parameters can be remarkable in some cases. The final results of running fermion masses at several representative energy scales are tabulated for further applications.
We study one-loop quantum gravity corrections to the standard model Higgs potential $V(phi)$ $grave{rm a}$ la Coleman-Weinberg and examine the stability question of $V(phi)$ in the energy region of Planck mass scale, $musimeq M_{rm Pl}$ ($M_{rm Pl}=1
.22times10^{19}{rm GeV}$). We calculate the gravity one-loop corrections to $V(phi)$ in Einstein gravity by using the momentum cut-off $Lambda$. We have found that even small gravity corrections compete with the standard model term of $V(phi)$ and affect the stability argument of the latter part alone. This is because the latter part is nearly zero in the energy region of $M_{rm Pl}$.
In this work we study vacuum decay and bubble nucleation in models of $f(R)$ higher curvature gravity. Building upon the analysis of Coleman-De Luccia (CDL), we present the formalism to calculate the Euclidean action and the bounce solution for a gen
eral $f(R)$ gravity in the thin wall approximation. We calculate the size of the nucleated bubble and the decay exponent for the Starobinsky model and its higher power extensions. We have shown that in the Starobinsky model with a typical potential the nucleated bubble has a larger size in comparison to the CDL bubble and with a lower tunneling rate. However, for higher power extension of the Starobinsky model the size of the bubble and the tunneling exponent can be larger or smaller than the CDL bubble depending on the model parameters. As a counterintuitive example, we have shown that a bubble with a larger size than the CDL bubble but with a higher nucleation rate can be formed in $f(R)$ gravity.
Metastable states decay at zero temperature through quantum tunneling at an exponentially small rate, which depends on the Coleman-de Luccia instanton, also known as bounce. In some theories, the bounce may not exist or its on-shell action may be ill
-defined or infinite, thus hindering the vacuum decay process. In this paper, we test this possibility in modified theories of gravity interacting with a real scalar field. We consider an Einstein-Hilbert term with a non-minimally coupled scalar field and a quadratic Ricci scalar contribution. To tackle the problem we use a new analytic method, with which we prove that the scalar field on the bounce has a universal behavior at large Euclidean radii, almost independently of the potential. Our main result is that the quadratic Ricci scalar prevents the decay, regardless of the other terms in the action. We also comment on the numerical implications of our findings.
We evaluate quantum gravity corrections to the standard model Higgs potential $V(phi)$ a la Coleman-Weinberg and examine the stability question of $V(phi)$ at scales of Planck mass $M_{rm Pl}$. We compute the gravity one-loop corrections by using the
momentum cut-off in Einstein gravity. The gravity corrections affect the potential in a significant manner for the value of $Lambda= (1 - 3)M_{rm Pl}.$ In view of reducing the UV cut-off dependence we also make a similar study in the $R^2$ gravity.
