A self-consistent renormalization scheme at finite temperature and zero momentum is used together with the finite temperature renormalization group to study the temperature dependence of the mass and the coupling to one-loop order in the…
We investigate the electroweak phase transition in the real-singlet extension of the Standard Model at two-loop level, building upon existing one-loop studies. We calculate the effective potential in the high-temperature approximation and…
In many extensions of the Standard Model, finite temperature computations are complicated by a hierarchy of zero temperature mass scales, in addition to the usual thermal mass scales. We extend the standard thermal resummations to such a…
In this paper I discuss how to consistently incorporate higher-order corrections to the bubble-nucleation rate at finite temperature. Doing so I examine the merits of different approaches, with the goal of reducing uncertainties for…
We study gauge dependence of gravitational waves produced from a first-order phase transition in classical scale-invariant $U(1)'$ models. Accidental gauge independence of the one-loop effective potential in this class of models is spoiled…
We analyse approximate solutions to an exact renormalisation group equation with particular emphasis on their dependence on the regularisation scheme, which is kept arbitrary. Physical quantities related to the coarse-grained potential of…
We study the effective potential of a real scalar phi^4 theory as a function of the temperature T within the simplest Phi-derivable approximation, namely the Hartree approximation. We apply renormalization at a "high" temperature T* where…
The high-temperature limit of the 2-loop effective potential for the Higgs field is calculated from an effective 3d theory, in a general covariant gauge. It is shown explicitly that a gauge-independent result can be extracted for the…
A hierarchy of effective field theories is used to separate the contributions from different momentum scales and to calculate the free energy of QCD at high temperature in powers of the coupling constant up to order $g^5$. The behavior of…
We give evidence of a clear structural signature of the glass transition, in terms of a static correlation length with the same dependence on the system size which is typical of critical phenomena. Our approach is to introduce an external,…
We present a new method for renormalisation group improvement of the effective potential of a quantum field theory with an arbitrary number of scalar fields. The method amounts to solving the renormalisation group equation for the effective…
Computer simulations are used to study a three-dimensional polydisperse model glassformer in a replica-coupling setup where an attractive field $\propto - \varepsilon Q$ of strength $\varepsilon$ can adjust the similarity of the system to a…
We study the dissipation physics of one dimensional mesoscopic superconducting quantum interference device array by using the field-theoretical renormalization group method. We observe length scale dependent superconductor-insulator quantum…
We perform a state-of-the-art global study of the cosmological thermal histories of a simple Yukawa model, and find higher perturbative orders to be important for determining both the presence and strength of strong first-order phase…
Making use of a dimensionally-reduced effective theory at high temperature, we perform a nonperturbative study of the electroweak phase transition in the Two Higgs Doublet model. We focus on two phenomenologically allowed points in the…
Results of perturbation theory in quantum field theory generally depend on the renormalization scheme that is in use. In particular, they depend on the scale. We try to make perturbation theory scheme invariant by re-expanding with respect…
Using the effective potential, we study the one-loop renormalization of a massive self-interacting scalar field at finite temperature in flat manifolds with one or more compactified spatial dimensions. We prove that, owing to the…
We consider the thermodynamics of a uniformly charged polyelectrolyte with harmonic bonds. For such a system there is at high temperatures an approximate scaling of global properties like the end-to-end distance and the interaction energy…
We consider a scalar field model with a $g \phi_4^4$ interaction and compute the mass correction at next-to-leading order in a large-$N$ expansion to study the summability of the perturbative series. It is already known that at zero…
We determine the 2-loop effective gauge coupling of QCD at high temperatures, defined as a matching coefficient appearing in the dimensionally reduced effective field theory. The result allows to improve on one of the classic…
