Deconfinement-Higgs continuity in $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ adjoint Higgs model at finite temperature

Yui Hayashi, Masashi Kawahira, Hiromasa Watanabe

We study the finite-temperature phase structure of the four-dimensional $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ adjoint Higgs model, focusing on a possible \textit{deconfinement-Higgs continuity}: the conje…
