{"arxiv_id":"1403.2265","title":"Phase structure of $SU(3)$ gauge-Higgs unification models at finite temperature","abstract":"Five-dimensional $SU(3)$ gauge-Higgs unification models are studied at finite temperature in the warped extra dimension $S^1/\\mathbb{Z}_2$. In order to investigate the phase structure, we developed a technique to compute the one-loop effective potential with the nontrivial Polyakov loop phase and with the nontrivial Wilson line phase along the extra dimension. Effective potentials as functions of two gauge-field condensations are shown for several simple matter contents, including fundamental, sextet, and adjoint representational Dirac fermions. Possible extensions and applications of our formalism are also briefly discussed.","primary_cat":"hep-ph","cross_cats":["hep-th"],"submitted_at":"2014-03-10T15:23:41+00:00","latest_version":2,"source":"arxiv","source_label":"arXiv","source_url":null,"has_pdf":true,"has_source":false,"verdict":null,"confidence":null,"one_line_summary":null,"novelty_score":null,"correctness_risk":null,"formal_verification":null,"upvotes":0,"downvotes":0,"pith_score":0,"inbound_count":0,"_links":{"html":"https://pith.science/paper/1403.2265","verdict":"/api/v1/verdicts/1403.2265"}}
