Precise Computation of Thermal Phase Transition Parameters
Our understanding of field theories at finite temperature (FTQFT) has undergone significant progress in the last decade. It has been boosted in part by the necessity of correctly interpreting the data from current and future detectors of gravitational waves (GWs) produced during Phase Transitions (PT) in the early and hot Universe. By now it is well established that the correct description is provided by a 3-dimensional Euclidean effective field theory (EFT) involving only those degrees of freedom that do not acquire large effective masses in their interaction with the thermal bath; all others being removed from the theory in favor of Lagrangian terms of increasing number of fields and…
