Fermion Fluctuation Determinant and Sphaleron Bound
read the original abstract
We investigate analytically the fermionic fluctuation determinant at finite temperatures in the minimal standard model, including all operators up to dimension 6 and all contributions to the effective potential to all orders in the high $T$ expansion, to 1 loop. We apply the results to find corrections to the Sphaleron erasure rate in the broken phase. We conclude that the analytic treatment of fermions is very reliable and that there is a great deal of baryon erasure after the phase transition for any physical Higgs mass.

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