abstract
We argue that the rate of Standard Model vacuum or thermal decay seeded by primordial black holes is negligible (because non-perturbatively suppressed by the small quartic Higgs coupling) and independent of the non-minimal coupling of the Higgs to gravity.

Thermal false vacuum decay near black holes is aspherical
False vacuum decay near a thermal Schwarzschild black hole is dominated by aspherical critical bubbles for intermediate sizes and by horizon-riding Fubini-Lipatov bounces for large sizes.
