On the perturbative expansion at high temperature and implications for cosmological phase transitions

Abstract We revisit the perturbative expansion at high temperature and investigate its convergence by inspecting the renormalisation scale dependence of the effective potential. Although at zero temperature the renormalisation group improved effective potential is scale independent at one-loop, we s...
