abstract
The tunneling potential formalism, an alternative to the standard Coleman Euclidean approach, offers in a natural way a unified view of vacuum decays. In particular, I show in this talk how Coleman's bounce is just a member of a continuous family of solutions that can also feature Hawking-Moss instantons, pseudo-bounces and bubble-of-nothing solutions.

An infrared bound on the ultraviolet bounce
A proof that pseudo-bounce actions decrease monotonically to the true bounce action, with and without gravity, plus an estimate that the Standard Model's AdS3 vacuum decays with exponent ~M_pl^3/(m_nu^2 Lambda).
