Comparison of 4d and 3d Lattice Results for the Electroweak Phase Transition

arXiv:hep-lat/9604011 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(96)00854-4

Abstract

We compare 4d lattice results for the finite temperature phase transition in the SU(2)+Higgs model with 3d lattice results for the phase transition in the corresponding dimensionally reduced effective theory. While the large errorbars and the lack of a relation of the 4d lattice gauge coupling to continuum physics prevent rigorous conclusions, the results are nevertheless compatible. This provides a direct non-perturbative check of dimensional reduction in the present context.
