$A_0$ condensation, Nielsen's identity and effective potential of order parameter

In high temperature SU(2) gluodynamics, the condensation of the zero component gauge field potential A_0 =const and its gauge-fixing dependence are investigated. A_0 is mutually related with Polyakov's loop . The two-loop effective potential W(A_0,xi) is recalculated in the background relativistic R_xi gauge. It depends on the parameter xi, has a nontrivial minimum and satisfies Nielsen's identity. These signs mean gauge invariance of the condensation phenomenon. Following the idea of Belyaev, we express W(A_0,xi) in terms of . The obtained effective potential of order parameter differs from that derived by this author. It is independent of xi and has a nontrivial minimum position. Hence the A_0 condensation follows. We show that the equation relating A_0 and (A_0)|_(classical) coincides with the special characteristic orbit in the (A)$-plain along which the W(A_0,xi) is xi-independent. In this way the link between these two gauge invariant descriptions is established. The minimum value of the Polyakov loop is calculated. Comparison with results of other authors is given.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the O(4) scalar model on a lattice

The spontaneous symmetry breaking at zero temperature in the four-component four-dimensional scalar $λϕ^4_4$ model (the O(4) model) is investigated on a lattice for different values of the coupling constant $λ$. A general method for dealing with such type dependence is developed. The Goldstone modes are integrated out in the spherical coordinates in the internal space of the scalar field by the saddle point method, and the initial functional integral of the model is reduced to an effective one-component theory convenient for lattice investigations. The partition function of this theory is calculated analytically in the static limit and demonstrates the $λ$-dependence which is characteristic for distinguishing symmetry breaking. Monte Carlo simulations are performed with the QCDGPU software package on a HGPU cluster. It is shown that the symmetry is spontaneously broken for $λ>λ_0 \simeq 10^{-5}$. For smaller coupling values, the scalar field vanishes on a lattice, which can be interpreted as instability of the homogeneous condensate or even instability of the model itself. The critical value $λ_0$ is independent of the lattice sizes $16^4$ and $32^4$ investigated.

Spontaneous magnetization of a vacuum in the hot Universe and intergalactic magnetic fields

We review the spontaneous magnetization of the vacuum of non-Abelian gauge fields at high temperature. The standard model of particles is investigated as a particular example. By using both analytic methods of quantum field theory and gauge field theory on a lattice, we determine the Abelian (chromo)magnetic fields in the restored phase of the model at high temperatures $T \geq T_{ew}$. The fields are stable and temperature dependent, $B = B(T)$. We investigate the mechanisms of the field stabilization in detail. The screening parameters for electric and magnetic fields - the Debye, $m_D(B,T),$ and magnetic, $m_{magn.}(B,T)$, masses - are calculated. It is shown that, in the field presence, the former one is smaller than at zero field. The magnetic mass of the (chromo)magnetic fields is determined to be zero, as for usual $U(1)$ magnetic field. We also show that the vacuum magnetization stops at temperatures below the electroweak phase transition temperature, $T \leq T_{ew}$, when a scalar condensate creates. These properties make reasonable a possibility that the intergalactic magnetic fields observed recently were spontaneously generated in the hot Universe at the reheating epoch due to vacuum polarization of non-Abelian gauge fields. We present a procedure for estimating the field strengths $B(T)$ at different temperatures. In particular, the value of $B(T_{ew}) \sim 10^{14} G$, at $T_{ew}$ is estimated with taking into consideration the observed intergalactic magnetic field $B_0 \sim 10^{- 15} G$. The magnetic field scale is also estimated. Some model dependent peculiarities of the phenomena studied are briefly discussed.

The Parametric Space of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and Sakharov's Baryogenesis Conditions

The electroweak phase transition in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model is investigated. The Gibbs potential at finite temperature is computed with regard for the one-loop plus ring diagram contributions. The strong first-order phase transition satisfying Sakharov's baryogenesis conditions is determined for the values of scalar field masses allowed by experimental data. The relation between the model parameters supplying the phase transition to be of the first order is derived. It is shown that a sequence of phase transitions is also possible. A comparison with results of other authors is done.

Long range chromomagnetic fields at high temperature

The magnetic mass of neutral gluons in Abelian chromomagnetic field at high temperature is calculated in SU(2)$ gluodynamics. It is noted that such type fields are spontaneously generated at high temperature. The mass is computed either from the Schwinger-Dyson equation accounting for the one-loop polarization tensor or in Monte-Carlo simulations on a lattice. In latter case, an average magnetic flux penetrating a plaquette is measured for a number of lattices. Both calculations are in agreement with each other and result in zero magnetic mass. Some applications of the results obtained are discussed.

Fitting of Z' parameters

The paper deals with an approach to the model-independent searching for the Z' gauge boson as a virtual state in scattering processes. The relations between the Z' couplings to fermions covering a wide class of models beyond the standard model are found and used. They reduce in an essential way the number of parameters to be fitted in experiments. Special observables which uniquely pick out the Z' at energies of LEP and ILC colliders in different leptonic processes are introduced and the data of LEP experiments are analyzed. The Z' couplings to leptons and quarks are estimated at 95% confidence level. At this level, the LEP data are compatible with the existence of the Z' with the mass of order 1-1.2 TeV. These estimates may serve as a guide for experiments at the Tevatron and/or LHC. A comparison with other approaches and results is given.

The spontaneous generation of magnetic fields at high temperature in SU(2)-gluodynamics on a lattice

The spontaneous generation of the chromomagnetic field at high temperature is investigated in a lattice formulation of the SU(2)-gluodynamics. The procedure of studying this phenomenon is developed. The Monte Carlo simulations of the free energy on the lattices 2 \times 8^3, 2\times 16^3 and 4 \times 8^3 at various temperatures are carried out. The creation of the field is indicated by means of the χ^2-analysis of the data set accumulating 5-10 millions MC configurations. A comparison with the results of other approaches is done.

Can Baryogenesis Survive in the Standard Model Due To Strong Hypermagnetic Field?

The electroweak phase transition in a constant hypermagnetic field=A0 is studied in the Standard Model. The symmetry behaviour is investigated within the consistent effective potential of the scalar and magnetic fields at finite temperature. It includes the one-loop and ring diagram contributions. All fundamental fermions and bosons are taken into consideration with their actual masses. The only free parameter is the Higgs boson mass which is chosen to be in the energy interval 75 GeV $\le m_H \le$=A0 115 GeV.=A0 It is found that for the field strengths $H \sim 10^{22}- 10^{23}$G the electroweak phase transition is of first order but a baryogenesis condition is not satisfied. For stronger fields it=A0 becomes of second order. Hence it is concluded that the smooth hypermagnetic field does not generate the strong first order phase transition and the baryogenesis does not survive in the Standard Model. The comparison with the results of other approaches is done.

The Vortex Solution in the (2+1)-Dimensional Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons Theory at High Temperature

The vortex-like solution to the non-linear field equations in a two-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory with the Chern-Simons mass term is found at high temperature. It is derived from the effective Lagrangian including the leading order finite temperature corrections. The discovered field configuration possesses the finite energy and the quantized magnetic flux. At the centre of the vortex the point charge is located which is surrounded by the distributed charge of the opposite sign and the vortex is neutral as a whole. At high temperature the energy of the vortex is negative and it corresponds to the ground state. The derived solution is considered to be a result of heating the lattice vacuum structure formed at zero temperature.

Once More on a Colour Ferromagnetic Vacuum State at Finite Temperature

The spontaneous vacuum magnetization at finite temperature is investigated in SU(2) gluodynamics within a consistent effective potential approach including the one-loop and the correlation correction contributions. To evaluate the latter ones the high temperature limits of the polarization operators of charged and neutral gluon fields in a covariantly constant magnetic field and at high temperature are calculated.The radiation mass squared of charged gluons is found to be positive. It is shown that the ferromagnetic vacuum state having a field strength of order $(gH)^{1/2} \sim g^{4/3} T$ is spontaneously generated at high temperature. The vacuum stability and some applications of the results obtained are discussed.
