- In the decay process of metastable vacua in quantum field theories, the bounce solution, a classical solution in Euclideanized theories, is helpful in calculating the decay rate. Recently, the bounce solution with a conical singularity has attracted wide attention and revealed physical importance. In this paper, we discuss the bubble of nothing solution, which describes the decay process of a five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein vacuum, and study the consequence of including conical singularity. We found that the bounce solution with singularities has a higher decay rate than those without. This effect suggests that a singular solution can play a dominant role in vacuum decay of theories with compact internal space. We also discuss the enhanced decay rate from a thermodynamic perspective.
