Vacuum decay into Anti de Sitter space
Juan Maldacena

TL;DR
This paper explores the decay process of a false vacuum into an Anti de Sitter (AdS) space, proposing a dual field theory interpretation involving an end-of-the-world brane expanding into the false vacuum.
Contribution
It introduces a novel interpretation of vacuum decay into AdS space using dual field theory on a brane, linking gravitational decay to boundary field dynamics.
Findings
Proposes a dual field theory description of AdS vacuum decay.
Connects the expansion of an end-of-the-world brane to vacuum decay processes.
Provides a new perspective on false vacuum decay in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence.
Abstract
We propose an interpretation of decays of a false vacuum into an region. The region is interpreted in terms of a dual field theory living on an end of the world brane which expands into the false vacuum.
