Weinberg-Salam model at finite temperature and density
read the original abstract
We present a new gauge fixing condition for the Weinberg-Salam electro-weak theory at finite temperature and density. After spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs, every unphysical term in the Lagrangian is eliminated with our gauge fixing condition. A new and simple Lagrangian can be obtained where we can identify the propagators and vertices. Some consequences are discussed, as the new gauge dependent masses of the gauge fields and the new Faddeev-Popov Lagrangian. After obtaining the quadratic terms, we calculate exactly the 1-loop effective potential identifying the contribution of every particular field.

Nonequilibrium coherent effects at finite chemical potential
Finite chemical potential splits particle and antiparticle phases in the homogeneous solution of the statistical propagator, yielding a transient interference pattern erased by damping.
