We derive the one-loop effective 3-dimensional Lagrangian that describes the high-temperature limit of the electroweak theory, to order $\mathcal{O}(g^6)$ in coupling constants $g$, including corrections due to Matsubara modes of both…
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…
I summarize recent lattice results on QCD at finite temperatures and densities. Studies on the nature of the QCD transition at the physical point, continuum extra polations of thermodynamic quantities, and new calculations of hadronic…
This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a PhD thesis, also containing the articles hep-ph/0303019, hep-ph/0510375 and hep-ph/0512177. We provide a short history of the research of electroweak thermodynamics and…
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…
The transition from the hadronic phase to the phase of color-superconductivity at large densities is addressed by an effective theory which incorporates the Yang-Mills dynamics in addition to the di-quark degree of freedom. A toy version of…
We unveil the temperature-dependent electroweak phase transition in new extensions of the Standard Model in which the electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken via strongly coupled, nearly-conformal dynamics achieved by the means of…
The increasing importance of hadronic resonances in our understanding of the Standard Model is underscored by recent advancements in lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) calculations. We review recent developments, with a particular…
The phase structure of the 3D SU(2)--Higgs model, the dimensionally reduced effective theory for the electroweak model at finite temperature, is analysed on the lattice using a variant of the linear $\de$--expansion. We develop a systematic…
We consider a two dimensional Kondo lattice model with exchange J and hopping t in which three out of four impurity spins are removed in a regular way. At the particle-hole symmetric point the model may be studied with auxiliary field…
We perform a nonperturbative lattice study of the electroweak phase transition in the real singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model.We consider both the heavy and light singlet-like scalar regimes at non-zero singlet-doublet mixing…
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…
We describe the two-dimensional Mott transition in a Hubbard-like model with nearest neighbors interactions based on a recent solution to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation, which extends the notion of integrability to two-dimensional…
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…
The static sectors of the electroweak Standard Model and QCD at finite temperatures are described by 3d SU(N) Higgs models with scalars in the fundamental and adjoint representation, respectively. I summarize the non-perturbative physics of…
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…
We study the finite-temperature electroweak phase transition by numerical simulations of the four-dimensional SU(2)-Higgs model on anisotropic lattices with temporal extension $L_t=2$. The physically interesting parameter region of Higgs…
We study models of strong first order `low' temperature electroweak phase transition. To achieve this we propose a class of Higgs effective potential models which preserve the known features of the present day massive phase. However, the…
The 3d SU(2)-Higgs model is used to find the critical Higgs mass above which the first order phase transition ends. One method is focused on the disappearance of the two-state signal of the scalar condensate (vanishing of the latent heat).…
We carry out lattice simulations of a cosmological electroweak phase transition for a Higgs mass m_h ~ 126 GeV. The analysis is based on a dimensionally reduced effective theory for an MSSM-like scenario including a relatively light…
