Abstract

Semiclassical decay of the ground state of Kaluza-Klein theory has been studied in the context of higher derivative corrections to the Einstein action. Two solutions describing the decay state of the vacuum have been obtained. The first solution is asymptotic to the Witten bubble space-time, whereas the second solution is entirely new, but with the same physical properties. Properties of these solutions are discussed.
