A fast C++ implementation of thermal functions
read the original abstract
We provide a small C++ library with Mathematica and Python interfaces for computing thermal functions, defined $$ J_\text{B/F}(y^2) \equiv \Re \int_0^\infty x^2 \log\left[1 \mp e^{-\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \right] \,\text{d}x, $$ which appear in finite-temperature quantum field theory and play a role in phase-transitions in the early Universe, including baryogenesis, electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism.

Theoretical consistency and phenomenology of supercooled cosmological phase transitions
Applies high-T dimensional reduction for the first time to a classically scale-invariant model, computes NLO nucleation rate via determinants, and predicts LISA-detectable GW from supercooled PT in SU(2)cSM.

Phase Transitions and Gravitational Wave Production at the End of Thermal Inflation
Lattice simulations of the first-order phase transition terminating thermal inflation confirm bubble nucleation and yield gravitational-wave spectra potentially detectable by BBO and DECIGO.
