I explain, as simply and pedagogically as I can, recent arguments that the high-temperature baryon number violation rate depends on the electroweak coupling as $\Gamma = # \alpha_\w^5 T^4$ (up to higher order corrections). This is in…

The rate per unit volume for anomalous electroweak baryon number violation at high temperatures, in the symmetric phase, has been estimated in the literature to be $O(\alpha_W^4 T^4)$ based on simple scaling arguments. We argue that damping…

In hot non-Abelian gauge theories, processes characterized by the momentum scale $g^2 T$ (such as electroweak baryon number violation in the very early universe) are non-perturbative. An effective theory for the soft ($|\vec{p}|\sim g^2 T$)…

For a high temperature non-Abelian plasma, we reformulate the hard thermal loop approximation as an effective classical thermal field theory for the soft modes. The effective theory is written in local Hamiltonian form, and the thermal…

We derive a set of equations describing the real time dynamics of modes with spatial momentum of order g^2 T in a high temperature gauge theory, where g is the coupling constant and T is the temperature. This dynamics is stochastic in…

We present details for a method to compute the broken phase sphaleron rate (rate of hot baryon number violation below the electroweak phase transition) nonperturbatively, using a combination of multicanonical and real time lattice…

Using lattice simulations we calculate the rate of baryon number violating processes, the sphaleron rate, in the Standard Model with an external (hyper)magnetic field for temperatures across the electroweak cross-over, focusing on the…

We use large-scale lattice simulations to compute the rate of baryon number violating processes (the sphaleron rate), the Higgs field expectation value, and the critical temperature in the Standard Model across the electroweak phase…

We consider time dependent correlation functions of non-abelian gauge fields at finite temperature. An effective theory for the soft ($p\sim g^2 T$) field modes is derived by integrating out the field modes with momenta of order $T$ and of…

I try to explain some recent progress in understanding the non-perturbative dynamics of hot non-Abelian gauge theories. The non-perturbative physics is due to soft spatial momenta $|\vec{p}|\sim g^2 T$ where $g$ is the gauge coupling and…

I review the study of real (Minkowski) time correlators in hot, weakly coupled Yang-Mills theory via lattice methods. I concentrate on the Minkowski time topological susceptibility, which is related to the efficiency of baryon number…

The baryon number is violated in the Standard Model by non-perturbative sphaleron transitions. At temperatures above the electroweak scale, the rate of the sphaleron transitions is unsuppressed and has been accurately measured using…

We propose a formulation of the long-distance dynamics of gauge theories at finite temperature on a lattice in Minkowski space, including the effects of hard thermal loops on the dynamics of the long wavelength modes. Our approach is based…

We model fermions with an attractive interaction in an optical lattice with a single-band Hubbard model away from half-filling with on-site attraction $U$ and nearest neighbor hopping $t$. Our goal is to understand the crossover from BCS…

We compare higher moments of baryon numbers measured at the RHIC heavy ion collision experiments with those by the lattice QCD calculations. We employ the canonical approach, in which we can access the real chemical potential regions…

We measure the sphaleron rate (topological susceptibility) of hot SU(2) gauge theory, using a lattice implementation of the hard thermal loop (HTL) effective action. The HTL degrees of freedom are implemented by an expansion in spherical…

A three-dimensional effective lattice theory of Polyakov loops is derived from QCD by expansions in the fundamental character of the gauge action, u, and the hopping parameter, \kappa, whose action is correct to \kappa^n u^m with n+m=4. At…

Bodeker has recently argued that non-perturbative processes in very high temperature non-Abelian plasmas (such as electroweak baryon number violation in the very hot early Universe) are logarithmically enhanced over previous estimates and…

Real time evolution of classical gauge fields is relevant for a number of applications in particle physics and cosmology, ranging from the early Universe to dynamics of quark-gluon plasma. We present a lattice formulation of the interaction…

We construct net baryon number and strangeness susceptibilities as well as correlations between electric charge, strangeness and baryon number from experimental data on the particle production yields at midrapidity of the ALICE…
