abstract
We investigate the extent to which perturbative calculations of the electroweak phase transition are arbitrary and uncertain, owing to their gauge, renormalisation scale and scheme dependence, as well as treatments of the Goldstone catastrophe and daisy diagrams. Using the complete parameter space of the Standard Model extended by a real scalar singlet with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry as a test, we explore the properties of the electroweak phase transition in general $R_\xi$ and covariant gauges, OS and $\overline{\text{MS}}$ renormalisation schemes, and for common treatments of the Goldstone catastrophe and daisy diagrams. Reassuringly, we find that different renormalisation schemes and different treatments of the Goldstone catastrophe and daisy diagrams typically lead to only modest changes in predictions for the critical temperature and strength of the phase transition. On the other hand, the gauge and renormalisation scale dependence may be significant, and often impact the existence of the phase transition altogether.

Gravitational Waves from Dark Gauge Sectors
A dark SU(2) gauge sector that explains vector dark matter can produce LISA-detectable gravitational waves from a first-order phase transition, with a companion six-top signature at the HL-LHC.

Primordial Black Hole Formation via Inverted Bubble Collapse
Isolated bubbles from an incomplete phase transition, inverted into false-vacuum regions by a later bulk transition, collapse into nearly monochromatic primordial black holes up to about 10^-5 solar masses.

Measuring gravitational wave spectrum from electroweak phase transition and Higgs self-couplings
Using simulated Taiji data, the authors show that a stochastic gravitational-wave signal from an electroweak phase transition in the singlet-extended Standard Model can constrain the Higgs cubic and quartic self-couplings.
