Towards the Theory of Cosmological Phase Transitions
arXiv:hep-ph/9203203 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.46.550
Abstract
We discuss recent progress (and controversies) in the theory of finite temperature phase transitions. This includes the structure of the effective potential at a finite temperature, the infrared problem in quantum statistics of gauge fields, the theory of formation of critical and subcritical bubbles and the theory of bubble wall propagation.
