The Electroweak Phase Transition through the Renormalization Group
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the high-temperature phase transitions for the Abelian and SU(2) Higgs models, using the exact renormalization group. The evolution equation for a properly-defined coarse-grained free energy is solved. The phase diagram of the Abelian Higgs model has a region of second-order phase transitions governed by fixed points, for which we calculate critical exponents and crossover curves. It also has a region of first-order phase transitions, which we discuss in terms of the coarsegrained free energy. The SU(2) Higgs model for small Higgs field masses has only first-order phase transitions. We derive their properties and compare with lattice and perturbative results. For larger Higgs field masses the strength of the first-order phase transitions diminishes. For masses larger than 80-100 GeV we find evidence that they are replaced by analytical crossovers.

Comparison of Renormalization - Group and Lattice Studies of the Electroweak Phase Transition
We compare the results of renormalization-group and lattice studies for the properties of the electroweak phase transition. This comparison reveals the mechanisms that underlie the phenomenology of the phase transition.
متن کاملEnvironmentally Friendly Renormalization Group and Phase Transitions
We discuss an environmentally friendly renormalization group approach to analyze phase transitions. We intend to apply this method to the Electroweak Phase Transition. This work is in progress. We present some previously obtained results concerning a λφ 4 theory, where the main features of this algorithm are introduced.

In this paper, an analytic treatment of electroweak phase transition is proposed within the two-Higgs doublet model. This phase transition occurs in one stage and is strongly first order. Therefore, it can be applied to the electroweak baryogenesis scenario, whereas the standard model cannot provide this condition considering the experimental data. Also, we study CP violation which is one of th...
متن کاملRenormalization-Group Study of Weakly First-Order Phase Transitions
We study the universal critical behavior near weakly first-order phase transitions for a three-dimensional model of two coupled scalar fields – the cubic anisotropy model. Renormalization-group techniques are employed within the formalism of the effective average action. We calculate the coarse-grained free energy and deduce the universal ratio of susceptibilities on either side of the phase tr...
متن کاملDARK ENERGY AND DARK MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE FROM ONE-LOOP RENORMALIZATION OF RICCION S.K.Srivastava
Here, creation of the universe is obtained out of gravity only. The dynamical universe begins with two basic ingredients (i)vacuum energy, also called dark energy (as vacuum energy is not observed) and (ii) background radiation. These two are obtained through one-loop renormalization of riccion. Solutions of renormalization group equations yield initial value of vacuum energy with density ρΛew ...
