Weakly first-order phase transitions: the epsilon expansion vs. numerical simulations
Peter Arnold, Stephen R. Sharpe, Laurence G. Yaffe +1
Some phase transitions of cosmological interest may be weakly first-order and cannot be analyzed by a simple perturbative expansion around mean field theory. We propose a simple tw…
expansion analysis of very weak first-order transitions in the cubic anisotropy model, Part II
Peter Arnold, Yan Zhang
A companion article analyzed very weakly first-order phase transitions in the cubic anisotropy model using $\eps$ expansion techniques. We extend that analysis to a calculation of…
$\eps$ expansion analysis of very weak first-order transitions in the cubic anisotropy model: Part I
Peter Arnold, Laurence G. Yaffe
The cubic anisotropy model provides a simple example of a system with an arbitrarily weak first-order phase transition. We present an analysis of this model using $\eps$-expansion…
The tricritical point of finite-temperature phase transitions in large N(Higgs) gauge theories
Peter Arnold, David Wright
Gauge theories broken by a single Higgs field are known to have first-order phase transitions in temperature if , where is the gauge coupling and the Higgs sel…
The hot baryon violation rate is
Peter Arnold, Dam Son, Laurence G. Yaffe
The rate per unit volume for anomalous electroweak baryon number violation at high temperatures, in the symmetric phase, has been estimated in the literature to be b…
