Based on the current experimental data, the Standard Model predicts that the current vacuum state of the Universe is metastable, leading to a non-zero rate of vacuum decay through nucleation of bubbles of true vacuum. Our existence implies…
We discuss the calculation of the 1-loop effective action on four dimensional, canonically deformed Euclidean space. The theory under consideration is a scalar $\phi^4$ model with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to…

The scale invariant of the effective potential of the standard model at two-loop is used as a boundary condition under the assumption that the two-loop effective potential approximates the full effective potential. This condition leads with…
The stability of the Standard Model is determined by the true minimum of the effective Higgs potential. We show that the potential at its minimum when computed by the traditional method is strongly dependent on the gauge parameter. It…
The effective potential is a widely used phenomenological tool to investigate phase transitions occurring in the early Universe at finite temperature. In the standard perturbative treatment the potential becomes complex in some region of…
