IN THIS WORK WE STUDY AN ALTERNATIVE SCHEME FOR AN EMERGENT UNIVERSE SCENARIO IN THE CONTEXT OF A JORDAN-BRANS-DICKE THEORY, WHERE THE UNIVERSE IS INITIALLY IN A TRULY STATIC STATE SUPPORTED BY A SCALAR FIELD LOCATED IN A FALSE VACUUM. THE MODEL PRESENTS A CLASSICALLY STABLE PAST ETERNAL STATIC STATE WHICH IS BROKEN WHEN, BY QUANTUM TUNNELING, THE SCALAR FIELD DECAYS INTO A STATE OF TRUE VACUUM AND THE UNIVERSE BEGINS TO EVOLVE FOLLOWING THE EXTENDED OPEN INFLATIONARY SCHEME.

IN THIS WORK IT IS PROPOSED AN ALTERNATIVE SCHEME FOR AN EMERGENT UNIVERSE SCENARIO IN THE CONTEXT OF A JORDAN-BRANS-DICKE THEORY, WHERE THE UNIVERSE IS INITIALLY IN A STATIC STATE SUPPORTED BY A SCALAR FIELD LOCATED IN A FALSE VACUUM. THE UNIVERSE BEGINS TO EVOLVE WHEN, BY QUANTUM TUNNELING, THE SCALAR FIELD DECAYS INTO A STATE OF TRUE VACUUM. IN PARTICULAR, IN THIS WORK WE STUDY THE STABILITY OF THE STATIC UNIVERSE, UNDER THE AFOREMENTIONED CHARACTERISTICS, AND THE PROBABILITY OF CREATING A TRUE VACUUM BUBBLE. IT IS SHOWN THAT IN THIS MODEL, UNLIKE WHAT HAPPENS IN PREVIOUS WORKS, THE STATIC UNIVERSE IS STABLE UNDER SMALL CLASSICAL PERTURBATIONS.
