S.J. Huber, M.G. Schmidt
TL;DR
This paper investigates how fluctuating gauge fields influence the hot electroweak potential, suggesting confinement effects and discussing potential destabilization and crossover phenomena based on phenomenological and lattice data.
Contribution
It introduces a nonperturbative perspective on the hot electroweak potential, emphasizing gauge field fluctuations and their impact on confinement and phase transition behavior.
Findings
Gauge field fluctuations lead to confinement effects in the hot electroweak potential.
Destabilization of F^2=0 is discussed in the context of phase crossover.
Lattice data supports the phenomenological approach to gauge field contributions.
Abstract
The hot electroweak potential for small Higgs field values is argued to obtain contributions from a fluctuating gauge field background leading to confinement. The destabilization of F^2=0 and the crossover are discussed in our phenomenological approach, also based on lattice data.
