Title: Dynamics of false vacuum bubbles in Brans-Dicke theory Authors: Bum-Hoon Lee, Wonwoo Lee, Dong-han Yeom We study the dynamics of false vacuum bubbles in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity by using the thin shell or thin wall approximation. We consider a false vacuum bubble that has a differe...
