DESCRIPTION:Ruth Gregory (Durham University)\nPhase transitions are part o
 f everyday life\, yet are also believed to be part of the history of our u
 niverse\, where the nature of particle interactions change as the universe
  settles into its vacuum state. The recent discovery of the Higgs and its 
 mass suggests that our vacuum may not be entirely stable\, and that a furt
 her phase transition could take place. My talk will review how we find the
  probability of these phase transitions and I will discuss my recent work
  on how black holes can dramatically change the result\, and discuss imp
 lications for the Higgs vacuum.
