In Einstein-aether theory, violating Lorentz invariance permits some super-luminal communications, and the universal horizon can trap excitations traveling at arbitrarily high velocities. To better understand the nature of these universal…
The rate of $B$-violation in the standard model at finite temperature is closely related to the diffusion rate $\Gamma$ of Chern-Simons number. We compute this rate for $m_H \approx m_W$ in the classical approximation in an effective…
