We review the status of non-perturbative lattice studies of the electroweak phase transition. In the Standard Model, the complete phase diagram has been reliably determined, and the conclusion is that there is no phase transition at all for the experimentally allowed Higgs masses. In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), in contrast, there can be a strong first order transition allowing for baryogenesis. Finally, we point out possibilities for future simulations, such as the problem of CP-violation at the MSSM electroweak phase boundary.

  1. Hot news on the phase structure of the SMEFT

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A full O(g^4) dimensional reduction of the dimension-six SMEFT shows that the top-Higgs operator O_tphi can trigger a first-order electroweak phase transition with zero (phi-dagger phi)^3 coupling at zero temperature.

  2. Phase Transitions in Dimensional Reduction up to Three Loops

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy complex-scalar model, 1-loop dimension-6 matching corrections compete with 2-loop quartic corrections and dominate 3-loop thermal-mass corrections for strong phase transitions.

  3. Polyakov Loops Tame Phase Transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Polyakov loop contributions to the thermal effective potential soften electroweak phase transitions, disfavoring first-order transitions and suppressing gravitational-wave signals.

  4. Renormalization-group equations of the LEFT at two loops: dimension-six baryon-number-violating operators

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The two-loop anomalous dimensions for all dimension-six baryon-number-violating LEFT operators are derived in the 't Hooft-Veltman and naive dimensional regularization schemes.

  5. Electroweak phase transition in SMEFT: Gravitational wave and collider complementarity

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Strong first-order electroweak phase transitions in dimension-6 SMEFT can be probed by future gravitational wave detectors and by di-Higgs production at the HL/HE-LHC, with correlated sensitivity regions.

  6. Finite-temperature Yang-Mills theories with the density of states method: towards the continuum limit

    hep-lat 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Density-of-states lattice study of the first-order phase transition in Sp(4) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature, confirming metastability and surface tension for two temporal extents toward the continuum limit.
