Morse-Bott inequalities, topology change and cobordisms to nothing

Abstract The Cobordism Conjecture predicts spacetime-ending configurations, such as Bubbles of Nothing (BoN), being commonplace. These correspond to vacuum decays in which the compactification manifold C n $$ {\mathcal{C}}_n $$ shrinks to a point, with the instability expanding at the speed of light...
