abstract

We investigate the electroweak phase transition in the real-singlet extension of the Standard Model at two-loop level, building upon existing one-loop studies. We calculate the effective potential in the high-temperature approximation and detail the required resummations at two-loop order. In typical strong-transition scenarios, we find deviations of order $20\% - 50\%$ from one-loop results in transition strength and critical temperature for both one- and two-step phase transitions. For extremely strong transitions, the discrepancy with one-loop predictions is even larger, presumably due to sizable scalar couplings in the tree-level potential. Along the way, we obtain a dimensionally-reduced effective theory applicable for non-perturbative lattice studies of the model.

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy complex-scalar model, 1-loop dimension-6 matching corrections compete with 2-loop quartic corrections and dominate 3-loop thermal-mass corrections for strong phase transitions.

    In the Normal 2HDM, SFOEWPTs are single-step and alignment-favoring across all four Yukawa types, yet Parwani versus Arnold–Espinosa resummation changes the viable heavy-mass range from ~1.6 TeV to ≲800 GeV and leaves...

    At next-to-next-to-leading order, gravitational wave predictions for the real-scalar singlet extension of the Standard Model appear to converge for typical parameters, but break down for the strongest, observable signals.
