Gravitational corrections to electroweak vacuum decay: metric vs. Palatini

We consider the standard Einstein-Hilbert-Higgs action where the Higgs field couples nonminimally with gravity via the term ξh2R, and investigate the stability of the electroweak vacuum in the presence of gravitational corrections in both the metric and Palatini formulations of gravity. In order to...
