Spontaneous symmetry breaking, gauge hierarchy and electroweak vacuum metastability
Sean Benevedes, Thomas Steingasser, Sokratis Trifinopoulos
The so-called metastability bound asserts that an unnaturally small Higgs mass is a necessary condition for electroweak vacuum metastability, offering a new approach towards solvin…

Higgs criticality in and beyond the Standard Model
Thomas Steingasser
The properties of the Higgs potential are determined by three parameters: the mass parameter, the quartic self-coupling, and a constant term. Remarkably, all three of these paramet…

Toward quantum tunneling from excited states: Recovering imaginary-time instantons from a real-time analysis
Thomas Steingasser, David I. Kaiser
We revisit the path integral description of quantum tunneling and lay the groundwork for its generalization to excites states through real-time path integral techniques. For clarit…
