abstract

We develop a new method to determine thermal activation rates, such as for bubble nucleation, topology change, \textsl{etc.}, using 4-dimensional Euclidean methods. This allows nonperturbative study on the lattice. We then investigate the strong sphaleron rate in pure-glue QCD at temperatures between 1.3 $\Tc$ and 1000 $T_\mathrm{c}$, making contact with previous results but extending them down close to the critical temperature. The extension to full QCD will be straightforward. Limitations of the proposal (the inability to compute a certain dynamical prefactor, puzzling large-volume behavior, and the inability to treat temperatures $T < 1.3 \, T_\mathrm{c}$) are also discussed.

  1. Dynamics of nucleation in thermal phase transitions

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The thermal nucleation rate is the transition-state estimate multiplied by one minus the re-crossing probability, and oscillons make that correction large.

  2. Real-time topological rate at non-zero momentum in quenched QCD

    hep-lat 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A first-principles lattice calculation in quenched QCD extracts the momentum-dependent topological rate and finds approximate linear growth of the on-shell rate with momentum.

  3. Revisiting the sphaleron and axion production rates in QCD at high temperatures

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations give sphaleron rates in hot QCD plasmas and show axion production rates deviate from perturbative predictions at high temperatures.
