High Energy Physics - Lattice 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The lattice regularization of the Higgs sector of the standard model is summarized. The triviality bound and vacuum instability bound are described. The question of chiral gauge theories is discussed. Some aspects of the numerical simulations of the electroweak phase transition are considered.
