Nonperturbative Evaluation of the Sphaleron Transition Rate

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-25 v1

Abstract

We review nonperturbative calculations of the rate of sphaleron transitions on the lattice in 1+11+1-dimensional field theories and introduce a way to perform the gauge-invariant Gibbs averages in the classical non-Abelian Higgs theories.
