The current status of baryogenesis is reviewed, with an emphasis on electroweak
baryogenesis and leptogenesis. The first detailed studies were carried out for SU (5) grand …

We review recent progress in the study of the anomalous baryon number non-conservation
at high temperatures and in high-energy collisions. Recent results on high temperature …

NATURE abounds with phase transitions. The boiling and freezing of water are everyday
examples of phase transitions, as are more exotic processes such as superconductivity and …

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 …

We derive a static potential for a heavy quark-antiquark pair propagating in Minkowski time
at finite temperature, by defining a suitable gauge-invariant Green's function and computing …

In this review article, we discuss the current status and future prospects of perturbation
theory as a means of studying the equilibrium thermodynamic and near-equilibrium …

We present a unified description of the high temperature phase of QCD, the so-called quark–
gluon plasma, in a regime where the effective gauge coupling g is sufficiently small to allow …

We study first-order electroweak phase transitions nonperturbatively, assuming any particles
beyond the Standard Model are sufficiently heavy to be integrated out at the phase …

We consider time dependent correlation functions of non-Abelian gauge fields at finite
temperature. An effective theory for the soft (p∼ g2T) field modes is derived by integrating …

The sphaleron rate is defined as the diffusion constant for topological number\({N_ {\text
{CS}}}\equiv\int {\frac {{{g^ 2} F\tilde {F}}}{{32 {\pi^ 2}}}}\). It establishes the rate of …
