Supercooled Phase Transitions with Radiative Symmetry Breaking
Alberto Salvio
First-order phase transitions produce gravitational waves and primordial black holes. They always occur in field theories where symmetries are radiatively broken and masses are cor…
On the Validity of the Effective Theory of (Multi-)Field Inflation
Andrea Ambrosi de Magistris, Alberto Salvio
Motivated by trans-Planckian issues in inflation, we determine the Hilbert space and amplitudes of quantum perturbations in the general low-energy effective theory of (multi-)field…
Fermion Thermal Field Theory for a Rotating Plasma (with Applications to Neutron Stars)
Alberto Salvio
This paper provides a systematic and complete study of thermal field theory with fermion fields of any kind for generic equilibrium density matrices, which feature arbitrary values…
Scalar Thermal Field Theory for a Rotating Plasma
Alberto Salvio
This paper initiates the systematic study of thermal field theory for generic equilibrium density matrices, which feature arbitrary values not only of temperature and chemical pote…
Reheating after the Supercooled Phase Transitions with Radiative Symmetry Breaking
Francesco Rescigno, Alberto Salvio
Theories with radiative symmetry breaking (RSB) lead to first-order phase transitions and the production of gravitational waves as well as primordial black holes if the supercoolin…
Thermal Gauge Theory for a Rotating Plasma
Alberto Salvio
This paper provides a systematic and complete study of thermal gauge theory for generic equilibrium density matrices, which feature arbitrary values not only of temperature and che…
