Summary
Claim 1) Vacuum instability by catalysis plays crucial role in string landscape Claim 2) In estimating the life-time of vacuum, the shape of the potential is not enough Claim 3) Bubble can be a giant monopole Claim 4) Topology of a bubble is not necessarily sphereClaim 5) KKLT de Sitter vacuum may be unstable
