Dimensionally reduced U(1)+Higgs theory in the broken phase
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply dimensional reduction to the finite temperature U(1)+Higgs theory and study the properties of the reduced 3-dimensional theory in the broken phase using lattice Monte Carlo simulations. We compute analytically the scalar condensate in optimized 2-loop perturbation theory and the correlators in 1-loop perturbation theory. These quantities are also calculated numerically. The two results for the condensate agree well but a 25% difference is observed for the scalar correlator, indicating the need for optimized 2-loop perturbative results.

A Nonperturbative Measurement of the Broken Phase Sphaleron Rate
Abstract We develop a method to compute the sphaleron rate in the electroweak broken phase nonperturbatively. The rate is somewhat slower than a perturbative estimate. In SU(2)×U(1) Higgs theory at the physical value of ΘW , and assuming that the latent heat of the phase transition reheats the universe to the equilibrium temperature, baryon number erasure after the phase transition is prevented...
متن کاملThe tricritical point of finite - temperature phase transitions in large N ( Higgs ) gauge theories
The tricritical point of finite-temperature phase transitions in large N (Higgs) gauge theories. Abstract Gauge theories broken by a single Higgs field are known to have first-order phase transitions in temperature if λ/g 2 ≪ 1, where g is the gauge coupling and λ the Higgs self-coupling. If the theory is extended from one to N Higgs doublets, with U(N) flavor symmetry, the transition is known ...
متن کاملHiggs criticality in a two-dimensional metal
We analyze a candidate theory for the strange metal near optimal hole-doping in the cuprate superconductors. The theory contains a quantum phase transition between metals with large and small Fermi surfaces of spinless fermions carrying the electromagnetic charge of the electron, but the transition does not directly involve any broken global symmetries. The two metals have emergent SU(2) and U(...
متن کاملCP Violation in Supersymmetric U(1)′ Models
The supersymmetric CP problem is studied within superstring-motivated extensions of the MSSM with an additional U(1) gauge symmetry broken at the TeV scale. This class of models offers an attractive solution to the μ problem of the MSSM, in which U(1) gauge invariance forbids the bare μ term, but an effective μ parameter is generated by the vacuum expectation value of a Standard Model singlet S...
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...
