Abstract

I present a three-dimensional effective theory that describes the high-temperature equilibrium behavior of the SU(5) theory accurately, but is much easier to study using non-perturbative methods than the original four-dimensional one. The effective theory is obtained by perturbatively integrating out the super-heavy Matsubara modes as well as the heavy temporal component of the gauge field. Regardless of the particle spectrum of the original theory, the resulting three-dimensional theory contains only a gauge field and an adjoint Higgs field. The phase diagram of the theory is analysed perturbatively and it is shown to have a cellular structure in three-dimensional parameter space.
