Quantum fluctuations around the electroweak sphaleron.
We present an analysis of the quantum fluctuations around the electroweak sphaleron and calculate the associated determinant which gives the 1–loop correction to the sphaleron transition rate. The calculation differs in various technical aspects from a previous analysis by Carson et al. so that it can be considered as independent. The numerical results differ also – by several orders of magnitu...
متن کاملFermion sea along the sphaleron barrier.
We study the fermion Dirac sea along the minimal energy path between topologically distinct vacua in the electroweak theory. We follow in detail the interplay between the bound state and the continuum in the fermion creation/annihilation, as one passes from one vacuum to another. We calculate the quantum correction to the classical energy of the sphaleron barrier, arising from the fermion sea, ...

The standard model for the electroweak interactions is known 1,2,3,4 to contain vortex solutions that are the usual Nielsen-Olesen U(1) vortices 5 embedded in the larger electroweak symmetry group SU(2) × U(1). After briefly describing these vortex solutions, I will discuss their stability and argue that the presence of bound states can stabilize them. Then I will draw an intimate connection be...
متن کاملSearching for Novel Objects in the Electroweak Theory Searching for Novel Objects in the Electroweak Theory
We explore the Higgs-Gauge configuration space in the standard electroweak theory. We outline a general prescription that uses the non-trivial topology associated with the gauge group of the theory, to find known solutions of the Euclidean classical equations of motion and motivate the existence of novel ones. In Minkowski spacetime we present evidence for the existence of approximate breathers...
متن کاملMeasuring the Broken Phase Sphaleron Rate Nonperturbatively
We present details for a method to compute the broken phase sphaleron rate (rate of hot baryon number violation below the electroweak phase transition) nonperturbatively, using a combination of multicanonical and real time lattice techniques. The calculation includes the “dynamical prefactor,” which accounts for prompt recrossings of the sphaleron barrier. The prefactor depends on the hard ther...
