The electroweak phase transition is considered in framework of the reduced minimal 3-3-1 model (RM331). Structure of phase transition in this model is divided into two periods. The first period is the phase transition SU(3) ---> SU(2) at…

A new framework to study electroweak physics at one-loop level in general ${\rm SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y}$ theories is introduced. It separates the 1-loop corrections into two pieces: process specific ones from vertex and box contributions and…

We compute the leading four physical terms in the low-energy expansions of heavy-light quark current correlators at four-loop order. As a by-product we reproduce the corresponding top-induced non-singlet correction to the electroweak rho…

We discuss the electroweak phase-transition in the early universe, using non-perturbative flow equations for a computation of the free energy. For a scalar mass above $\sim 70$ GeV, high-temperature perturbation theory cannot describe this…
We systematically investigate theoretical uncertainties in perturbative analyses of first-order electroweak phase transitions (EWPT). Utilizing the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework, we quantify the gauge dependence,…

We review in brief the threshold expansion, a method to perform the expansion of Feynman integrals near the heavy quark-antiquark threshold, and its relation to the construction of two effective theories, non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and…
We review the salient features of next-to-leading-order QCD and electroweak corrections to the scattering of two and the production of three weak gauge bosons at the Large Hadron Collider. Results for the tower of $O(\alpha_s^m\alpha^n)$…
Recent progress in the theory of the electroweak phase transition is discussed. For the Higgs boson mass smaller than the masses of W and Z bosons, the phase transition is of the first order. However, its strength is approximately 2/3 times…
