Abstract
We present a fully analytical calculation of the false vacuum decay rate for a self-interacting scalar field in the thin-wall approximation. We obtain the bounce solution, together with the Euclidean action, counter-terms and renormalization group running, and we extract the functional determinant via the Gel’fand-Yaglom theorem. Our procedure is valid for a generic spacetime dimension 𝐷, and we provide an explicit finite renormalized decay rate in 𝐷 = 3, 4.
