Pheno Journal Club: ‘Infinite Heat Order in 3+1 Dimensions’

Grey Room 2 Instituto de Física Teórica, Madrid, Madrid, Spain

Journal clubs

Samuel Rosende (IFT) will present "Infinite Heat Order in 3+1 Dimensions" Venue&Time: Gray Room 2 / 12:00 Abstract: We investigate whether spontaneous symmetry breaking can persist up to arbitrarily high temperature in ultraviolet-complete quantum field theories in four spacetime dimensions. We focus on completely asymptotically free models with gauge group SU(Nc1)×SU(Nc2) and two complex scalar […]
