Gauge dependence of the high-temperature two-loop effective potential for the Higgs field.
نویسنده
چکیده
The high-temperature limit of the 2-loop effective potential for the Higgs field is calculated from an effective 3d theory, in a general covariant gauge. It is shown explicitly that a gauge-independent result can be extracted for the equation of state from the gauge-dependent effective potential. The convergence of perturbation theory is estimated in the broken phase, utilizing the gauge dependence of the effective potential. 1 Email: [email protected]

متن کاملTwo-loop effective potential for the minimal supersymmetric standard model
I compute the complete two-loop effective potential for the minimal supersymmetric standard model in the Landau gauge. This enables an accurate determination of the minimization conditions for the vacuum expectation values of the Higgs fields. Checks on the result follow from supersymmetric limits and from renormalization-scale invariance. The renormalization group equations for the field-indep...
متن کاملNew gauge for computing effective potentials in spontaneously broken gauge theories.
A new class of renormalizable gauges is introduced that is particularly well suited to compute effective potentials in spontaneously broken gauge theories. It allows one to keep free gauge parameters when computing the effective potential from vacuum graphs or tadpoles without encountering mixed propagators of would-be-Goldstone bosons and longitudinal modes of the gauge field. As an illustrati...
متن کاملTwo-loop renormalization of tanβ and its gauge dependence
Renormalization of two-loop divergent corrections to the vacuum expectation values (v1, v2) of the two Higgs doublets in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, and their ratio tanβ = v2/v1, is discussed for general Rξ gauge fixings. When the renormalized (v1, v2) are defined to give the minimum of the loop-corrected effective potential, it is shown that, beyond the one-loop level, the dimen...
متن کاملThe 2–Loop Effective Potential of the 3d SU(2)–Higgs Model in a General Covariant Gauge
To study the convergence of the loop expansion at the high–temperature electroweak phase transition, we calculate the 2–loop effective potential of the 3d SU(2)–Higgs model in a general covariant gauge. We find that the loop expansion definitely breaks down for large ξ, but converges rather well for smaller values, deep in the broken phase. 1 Electronic address: [email protected] Recently...
