摘要
High temperature reduction of the SU(2) Higgs model is realised by partially integrating its partition function. Various approximate forms of the effective theory resulting from the integration over non-static fields and the static electric potential are analysed. Also non-polynomial and non-local terms are allowed. Consistency of the perturbative solution is ensured by new types of induced counterterms. Perturbative phase transition characteristics are presented in the Higgs mass range 30-120 GeV. and compared to results of other perturbative approaches. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
