We review the use of an exact renormalization group equation in quantum field theory and
statistical physics. It describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the …

We investigate various problems related to the theory of the electroweak phase transition.
This includes determination of the nature of the phase transition, discussion of the possible …

Oscillons are localized, nonsingular, time-dependent, spherically symmetric solutions of
nonlinear scalar field theories which, although unstable, are extremely long lived. We show …

We study the kinetics of first-order cosmological phase transitions assuming a four-
parameter form for the Higgs potential driving the transition. This leads to a …

We study the conditions under which an overdamped regime can be attained in the dynamic
evolution of a quantum field configuration. Using a real-time formulation of finite temperature …

We examine the nonequilibrium dynamics of a self-interacting λ φ 4 scalar field theory.
Using a real time formulation of finite temperature field theory we derive, up to two loops and …

A bstract Metastable 'false'vacuum states are an important feature of the Standard Model of
particle physics and many theories beyond it. Describing the dynamics of a phase transition …

We report on an investigation of various problems related to the theory of the electroweak
phase transition. This includes a determination of the nature of the phase transition, a …

We derive a set of gauge independent gap equations for Higgs boson and vector boson
masses for the SU (2) Higgs model in three dimensions. The solutions can be associated …
