摘要：
In this paper we study the gravity effect on the nucleation rate of a vacuum bubble in the Einstein theory of gravity, as well as that with a nonminimally coupled scalar field. We consider Coleman-de 14 Luccia's semiclassical instanton approximation at zero temperature in curved spacetime with arbitrary vacuum energy densities. The bubble radius and the nucleation rate of a vacuum bubble are analyzed, based on the thin-wall approximation.
