Electroweak Higgs Potentials and Vacuum Stability

Marc Sher
- 01 Aug 1989 - 
- Vol. 179, pp 273-418
TLDR
In this article, the method of calculating radiative corrections to the scalar potentials is reviewed, with an emphasis on renormalization group improvement of the potential, and the results are then applied to the standard model to derive stringent bounds on Higgs and fermion passes.

Mean lifetime of a false vacuum in terms of the Krylov-Fock nonescape probability

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the Krylov-Fock approach to the decay of a metastable state at a finite temperature in the framework of thermo-field dynamics.

Universe Decay, Inflation and the Large Eigenvalue of the Cosmological Constant Seesaw

TL;DR: In this article, the cosmological constant seesaw mechanism has been shown to give rise to a period of inflation terminated by Universe decay, and the large eigenvalue of this eigenvectors can be used to model chain inflation, inflatonless inflation, string theory and different approaches to the hierarchy problem.

Early-time measure in eternal inflation

TL;DR: In this article , the authors further develop the idea that we instead exist during the approach to equilibrium, much earlier than the exponentially long mixing time, and prove that vacua that maximize their space-time volume at early times have: 1. maximal ever-hitting probability; 2. minimal mean first-passage time; and 3. minimal decay rate.

Lattice computations for high energy and nuclear physics

K Jansen
TL;DR: An overview of lattice field theory computations can be found in this paper, where the authors demonstrate the progress obtained in the field due to algorithmic, conceptual and supercomputer advances and estimate the computational cost for simulations at physical values of the pion mass.

Inflationary universe: A possible solution to the horizon and flatness problems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model of hot big-bang cosmology where the early universe is assumed to be highly homogeneous, in spite of the fact that separated regions were causally disconnected (horizon problem).

Quantum Field Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a modern pedagogic introduction to the ideas and techniques of quantum field theory is presented, with a brief overview of particle physics and a survey of relativistic wave equations and Lagrangian methods.

CP Conservation in the Presence of Pseudoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an explanation of the conservation of strong interactions which includes the effects of pseudoparticles, and they find it is a natural result for any theory where at least one flavor of fermion acquires its mass through a Yukawa coupling to a scalar field which has nonvanishing vacuum expectation value.

CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.

A new inflationary universe scenario: A possible solution of the horizon, flatness, homogeneity, isotropy and primordial monopole problems

TL;DR: A new inflationary universe scenario is suggested in this paper, which is free of the shortcomings of the previous one and provides a possible solution of the horizon, flatness, homogeneity and isotropy problems in cosmology.
