Abstract

We present a generalization to the N-dimensional case for the nucleation coefficient of a spherical p-brane, separating two (anti-)de Sitter spacetimes. We use a semiclassical approximation based on the analytical continuation to the Euclidean sector of a suitable effective action describing a p-brane in General Relativity.
