The three-dimensional abelian Higgs model has been argued to be dual to a scalar field theory with a global U(1) symmetry. We show that this duality, together with the scaling and universality hypotheses, implies a scaling law for the…
Using a simplified lattice version of the electroweak sector of the standard model, with dynamical fermions excluded, we determine at fixed Weinberg angle the transition line between the confined phase and the Higgs phase, the latter…

We review the dual relationship between various compact U(1) lattice models and Abelian Higgs models, the latter being the disorder field theories of line-like topological excitations in the systems. We point out that the predicted…
We study the abelian Higgs model out-of-equilibrium in two different approaches, a gauge invariant formulation, proposed by Boyanovsky et al. \cite{Boyanovsky:1996dc} and in the Coulomb gauge. We show that both approaches become equivalent…
The confining and topological properties of the compact Abelian Higgs model with doubly-charged Higgs field in three space-time dimensions are studied. We consider the London limit of the model. We show that the monopoles are forming…

The 3-d Z(2) lattice gauge-Higgs theory is cast in a partial axial gauge leaving a residual Z(2) symmetry, global in two directions and local in one. It is shown both analytically and numerically that this symmetry breaks spontaneously in…
The lattice gauge-scalar model with the scalar field in the fundamental representation of the gauge group has a single confinement-Higgs phase which is well-known as the Fradkin-Shenker-Osterwalder-Seiler analytic continuity theorem:…
Real time field excitations in the broken symmetry phase of the classical abelian Gauge+Higgs model are studied numerically in the unitary gauge, for systems starting from the unstable maximum of the Higgs potential.
We apply duality transformation to the Abelian Higgs model in 3+1 dimensions in the presence of electrons coupled to the gauge field. The Higgs field is in the symmetry broken phase, where flux strings can form. Dualization brings in an…
To realize first-order electroweak phase transition, it is necessary to generate a barrier in the thermal Higgs potential, which is usually triggered by scalar degree of freedom. We instead investigate phase transition patterns in pure…
It is shown that realistic models can be constructed in which the Standard Model Higgs field is in a non-trivial multiplet of a non-abelian family group of the quarks and leptons. It is shown that the observed quark and lepton masses and…
