Electroweak Baryogenesis is a particularly attractive theoretical scenario, since it relies on physics which can be tested at present high energy collider facilities. Within the Standard Model, it has been shown that the requirement of…
The dynamics of five dimensional Wilson line phases at finite temperature is studied in the one-loop approximation. We show that at temperatures of order T \sim 1/L, where L is the length of the compact space, the gauge symmetry is always…
We analyze the nMSSM with CP violation in the singlet sector. We study the static and dynamical properties of the electroweak phase transition. We conclude that electroweak baryogenesis in this model is generic in the sense that if the…
The role of Higgs sector of the standard model in first order phase transition is reexamined.It is found that a solution to the mass gap equations exist which can be used in higher orders. This possible solution leads to a transition which…

We consider the effect of the presence of a hypermagnetic field at the electroweak phase transition. Screening of the Z-component inside a bubble of the broken phase delays the phase transition and makes it stronger first order. We show…
We discuss first-order electroweak phase transition in models with extended Higgs sectors for the case with relatively heavy additional scalar bosons. We first show that, by the combination of the sphaleron decoupling condition,…
The Georgi-Machacek model extends the standard model Higgs sector by adding two isospin triplet scalar fields and imposing global SU(2)$_R$ symmetry on them. A feature of the model is that the triplets can acquire a large vacuum expectation…
We investigate scenarios in which electroweak baryogenesis can occur during an exotic stage of electroweak symmetry breaking in the early Universe. This transition is driven by the expectation value of a new electroweak scalar instead of…
We construct an anomaly free supersymmetric U(1)' model with a secluded U(1)'-breaking sector. We study the one-loop effective potential at finite temperature, and show that there exists a strong enough first order electroweak phase…
The construction of an effective 3D theory at high temperatures for the MSSM as a model of electroweak baryogenesis is discussed. The analysis for a single light scalar field shows, that given the experimental constraints, there is no value…
We present a class of four-dimensional models, with a non-supersymmetric spectrum, in which the radiative corrections to the Higgs mass are not sensitive, at least at one-loop, to the UV completion of the theory. At one loop, Yukawa…
The electroweak phase transition is studied at finite temperature. The effective action is given to higher orders, including wave function correction factors and the full $g^4,\lambda^2$ effective potential. An upper bound for the Higgs…
Electroweak symmetry non-restoration up to high temperatures well above the electroweak scale offers new alternatives for baryogenesis. We propose a new approach for electroweak symmetry non-restoration via an inert Higgs sector that…
Introducing heavy particles with strong couplings to the Higgs field can strengthen electroweak phase transition, through the entropy release mechanism from both bosons and fermions. We analyze the possibility of electroweak baryogenesis in…

We study the finite temperature electroweak transition with non-perturbative lattice Monte Carlo simulations. We find that it is of first order, at least for Higgs masses up to 80 GeV. The critical temperature of the phase transition is…
