Abstract Based on the gauge symmetry group SU(3)C ⨂ SU(2)L ⨂ U(1)Y ⨂ U(1)B–L, the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM with local B-L gauge symmetry(B-LSSM) has been introduced. In this model, we study the Higgs masses with the one-loop zero temperature effective potential corrections. Besides, the finite temperature effective potentials connected with two U(1)B-L Higgs singlets are deduced specifically. Then we can obtain the gravitational wave spectrums generated from the strong first-order phase transition. In the B-LSSM, with the fine-tuned parameter regions, we can obtain the strength parameter αθ ~ 0.14 and the ratio of speed to Hubble rate β/Hn ~ 5 at nucleation temperature, and then obtain observable gravitational wave signals. The gravitational wave signals can be as strong as h2ΩGW ~ 10–9, which may be detectable in the future experiments.

We briefly review the recent theoretical understanding of the first order phase transition undergone by gels with an emphasis on physical concepts, deliberately excluding details of modeling and analytic methods. The density of a gel changes discontinuously at the transition point. A variety of features of the transition result from the basic fact that the inhomogeneity of the density of the gel inevitably causes shear deformation. This deformation, on the one hand, reflects the geometry of the sample and, on the other hand, may alter the transition temperature.

The temperature induced phase transition is investigated in the one-component scalar field ϕ4 model on the lattice. Using the GPU cluster a huge amount of Monte Carlo simulation data is collected for a wide interval of coupling values. This gives a possibility to determine the low bound on the coupling constant λ0 when the transition happens and investigate its type. We found that for the values of λ close to this bound a weak-first-order phase transition takes place. It converts into a second-order one with the increase of λ. A comparison with the results obtained in analytic and numeric calculations by other authors is given.

In non-linear realisation of the electroweak gauge symmetry, the LHC Higgs boson can be assumed to be a singlet under [Formula: see text]. In such scenario, the Standard Model particle content can be kept but new sets of couplings are allowed. We identify a range of anomalous Higgs cubic and the [Formula: see text]-violating Higgs-top quark couplings that leads to first order phase transition and successful baryogenesis at the electroweak scale.

Abstract Recently, it was proposed that a $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ deformed CFT is dual to a gravity theory in an asymptotically AdS spacetime at finite radial cutoff. Motivated by this proposal, we explore some aspects of Hyperscaling Violating geometries at finite cutoff and zero temperature. We study holographic entanglement entropy, mutual information (HMI) and entanglement wedge cross section (EWCS) for entangling regions in the shape of strips. It is observed that the HMI shows interesting features in comparison to the very small cutoff case: it is a decreasing function of the cutoff. It is finite when the distance between the two entangling regions goes to zero. The location of its phase transition also depends on the cutoff, and decreases by increasing the cutoff. On the other hand, the EWCS is a decreasing function of the cutoff. It does not show a discontinuous phase transition when the HMI undergoes a first-order phase transition. However, its concavity changes. Moreover, it is finite when the distance between the two strips goes to zero. Furthermore, it satisfies the bound EW ≥ $$ \frac{I}{2} $$ I 2 for all values of the cutoff.

Abstract We study the gravitational-wave signal stemming from strongly coupled models featuring both, dark chiral and confinement phase transitions. We therefore identify strongly coupled theories that can feature a first-order phase transition. Employing the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, we focus our attention on SU(3) Yang-Mills theories featuring fermions in fundamental, adjoint, and two-index symmetric representations. We discover that for the gravitational-wave signals analysis, there are significant differences between the various representations. Interestingly we also observe that the two-index symmetric representation leads to the strongest first-order phase transition and therefore to a higher chance of being detected by the Big Bang Observer experiment. Our study of the confinement and chiral phase transitions is further applicable to extensions of the Standard Model featuring composite dynamics.

We consider two realistic models for a scale invariant extension of the standard model, which couples with a hidden non-Abelian gauge sector. At energies around TeV, the hidden sector becomes strongly interacting, thereby generating a robust energy scale, which is transferred to the standard model sector, triggering the electroweak symmetry breaking. At a finite temperature, i.e. in the early Universe, the generation of the robust energy scale appears as a strong first-order phase transition. We calculate the gravitational wave background spectrum for both models, which is produced by the first-order phase transition. We compare the results with the experimental sensitivity of LISA and DECIGO and find the gravitational wave signal may be detected at DECIGO.
