Environmentally Friendly Renormalization in Finite-Temperature Field Theory

Abstract

Phase transitions in relativistic quantum field theory are a topic of great theoretical and practical interest. Some of the more interesting ones are the deconfinement phase transition in QCD and the electroweak phase transition, the latter having generated much attention recently due to its possible role in explaining the baryon asymmetry of the universe.KeywordsDimensional ReductionHiggs SectorFinite TemperatureBaryon AsymmetryMomentum ScaleThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
