Description

Cosmological first-order phase transitions provide a unique window into fundamental physics in the early Universe. Theoretically, they involve intrinsically nonperturbative and nonequilibrium quantum field dynamics. Phenomenologically, they can generate observable stochastic gravitational waves and may also play an important role in explaining the origin of the baryon asymmetry and dark matter. In this talk, I will review recent progress in cosmological first-order phase transitions.
