Towards the Theory of Cosmological Phase Transitions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-08-17 v1

Abstract

We discuss recent progress (and controversies) in the theory of finite temperature phase transitions. This includes the structure of the effective potential at a finite temperature, the infrared problem in quantum statistics of gauge fields, the theory of formation of critical and subcritical bubbles and the theory of bubble wall propagation.
