Bubble wall velocity from holography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cosmological phase transitions proceed via the nucleation of bubbles that subsequently expand and collide. The resulting gravitational wave spectrum depends crucially on bubble wall velocity. We use holography to compute velocity from first principles in a strongly coupled, non-Abelian, four-dimensional gauge theory. is determined dynamically terms temperature. verify ideal hydrodynamics provides good description system everywhere except near wall.

Bubble Wall Velocity in the MSSM
We compute the wall velocity in the MSSM with W , tops and stops contributing to the friction. In a wide range of parameters including those which fulfil the requirements of baryogenesis we find a wall velocity of order vw ≈ 10 −2 much below the SM value. 1 Bubble Wall Equation of Motion in the MSSM Energy conservation leads to the equations of motion of an electroweak bubble wall interacting w...
متن کاملBubble wall velocity in a first order electroweak phase transition.
We calculate the velocity and thickness of a bubble wall at the electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Standard Model. We model the wall with semiclassical equations of motion and show that friction arises from the deviation of massive particle populations from thermal equilibrium. We treat these with Boltzmann equations in a fluid approximation in the background of the wall. Our analysis ...
متن کاملOne-loop fluctuation-dissipation formula for bubble-wall velocity.
The limiting bubble wall velocity during a first-order electroweak phase transition is of interest in scenarios for electroweak baryogenesis. Khlebnikov has recently proposed an interesting method for computing this velocity based on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. I demonstrate that at one-loop order this method is identical to simple, earlier techniques for computing the wall velocity ba...
متن کاملVelocity of Electroweak Bubble Walls
We study the velocity of bubble walls in the electroweak phase transition. For several extensions of the Standard Model, we estimate the friction and calculate the wall velocity, taking into account the hydrodynamics. We find that deflagrations are generally more likely than detonations. Nevertheless, for models with extra bosons, which give a strongly first-order phase transition, the deflagra...
متن کاملElectroweak Bubble Wall Friction: Analytic Results
We present an entirely analytic, leading log order determination of the friction an electroweak bubble wall feels during a first order electroweak phase transition. The friction is dominated by W bosons, and gives a wall velocity parametrically ∼ αw, and numerically small, ∼ .01 −− 0.1 depending on the Higgs mass.
