The multi particle system as opposed to objects. For example photons or massless particles such as the quasi particle inflaton.
For potential energy the field couplings
For single vacuum you could get higher vacuum conditions if the bubble starts collapsing which you would still have a...
Now take the above with regards to phase transitions. Ask yourself what occurs for example during electroweak symmetry breaking ? The Higgs field couples to leptons giving us a mass term. So the potential and kinetic energy terms change as a result. A new phase transition would imply new...
There isn't a miscommunication think back to the article you posted above.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1005.3506
So lets take from this article vacuum bubble A that collides with vacuum bubble b and results in vacuum bubble C.
What occurs depends on the energy differences between bubble A and...
Let's put it this way it took a state condition of 10^{19} GeV to form our Observable universe. That's just for our Observable universe. We do not know how large the entire universe is. There could very well be other regions with different expansion rates outside our Observable portion that we...
Yes to each question above with regards to the last question the answer would depend on the bubble involved. The process is possible even with slow roll.
I'm glad you answered I didn't see anything wrong either but I kept second guessing myself so chose to let someone else reply. Glad to see that at least I wasn't incorrect in both the answer and the choice of waiting to see if I was correct.
its been quite a while for myself ( my focus last couple of decades ie early universe processes) I didn't need this so haven't done this in decades lol
that being said first you need to recognize the k shell relations vs the L shell relations
so lets post some key relations as an assist...
Early inflation models suffered runaway inflation . Models with slow roll attempt to stop inflation via the slow roll.
However Chaotic eternal inflation (eternal states lasts forever).
Wiki has a not too bad coverage

So once again the answer...
The vacuum bubble questions depend on which inflationary model. A true vacuum could in theory go to a true vacuum to a false vacuum but the probability of ever occurring are incredibly low (see your links for examples)
In order to have a field of any form regardless of the average energy/mass...
