We develop a method for the construction of the effective potential at high temperatures based on the effective field theory approach and renormalization group. It allows one to sum up the leading logarithms in all orders of perturbation theory. The method reproduces the known one-loop and two-loop results in a very simple and economic way and clarifies the issue of the convergence of the perturbation theory. We also discuss the assumptions being made for the determination of the critical temperature of the electroweak phase transition, and analyse different perturbative uncertainties in its determination. These results are then used for the non-perturbative lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the EW phase transition in forthcoming paper.

  1. Matching higher-dimensional operators at finite temperature for general models

    hep-ph 2026-05 conditional novelty 8.0

    The authors automate matching of generic 3D dimension-five and -six operators for arbitrary models, implemented in an extension of DRalgo with public code and examples for scalar-Yukawa, hot QCD, and the full Standard Model.

  2. Quantum field nucleating and Wigner functions

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5

    The one-loop over-the-barrier nucleation rate in a thermal QFT is Affleck’s formula generalized to fields, not Linde’s, and still carries quantum prefactor effects even when the bounce is classically symmetric.

  3. Theoretical uncertainties in reconstructing model parameters with gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    In the conformal U(1)_X model, the daisy-resummed nucleation scheme shifts LISA-reconstructed gauge couplings by O(10%) relative to the NLO effective-field-theory result, an order of magnitude above the Fisher-matrix ...

  4. Thermal Resummation for Very Strong First-order Phase Transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A 2PI-based real-time resummation yields an NLO Abelian-Higgs effective potential for strong phase transitions that passes the leading-order Nielsen gauge-independence test.

  5. A critical look at low-scale cosmological phase transitions in the PTA era

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Precision study of dark sector phase transitions finds PTA-favored parameters near EFT breakdown with disfavored GW signals after higher-order corrections.

  6. Constraining the real scalar singlet extension of the SM

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Real scalar singlet extension of SM permits strong first-order EWPT for singlet masses up to ~1 TeV; HL-LHC tests large fraction of space while FCC offers discovery reach.

  7. Detecting gravitational waves from cosmological phase transitions with LISA: an update

    astro-ph.CO 2019-10 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Updated LISA detection prospects for gravitational waves from phase transitions are derived from state-of-the-art sound-wave simulations, with a new web tool PTPlot provided for parameter scans.
