Scientific paper

The first order transitions in the expanding universe are investigated in a general manner, without using special gauge models. Basic equations describing the progress of the phase transitions are derived, and nucleations of bubbles of a stable vacuum are discussed. By using simplified nucleation rate models, it is demonstrated that the progress of phase transitions and the expansion of the universe are closely coupled. Finally, applications of some special gauge models are mentioned.
