7# Sphaleron Rate from RS First Principles
8
9Sphalerons are nonperturbative gauge field configurations that violate
10baryon number. At temperatures above the electroweak phase transition,
11their rate per unit volume is:
12
13 Γ_sph / T⁴ = κ_sph · α_W⁵
14
15where:
16- α_W is the weak coupling (derived in WeakCoupling.lean)
17- κ_sph is a dimensionless O(1) prefactor
18
19## The RS Derivation of κ_sph
20
21In RS, κ_sph is determined by the Q₃ topology. A sphaleron transition
22corresponds to a topologically nontrivial path through the SU(2) gauge
23configuration space that changes all three winding numbers simultaneously.
24
25On Q₃, the number of such paths is the number of Hamiltonian cycles
26through the even sign-flip subgroup (ℤ/2ℤ)², which has 4 elements.
27The number of distinct Hamiltonian cycles on K₄ (complete graph on 4
28vertices) is 3. Each cycle traverses 4 edges.
29
30The combinatorial prefactor: κ_sph = 3 (cycles) × 4 (edges per cycle)
31/ |even sign flips|² = 12/16 = 3/4.
32
33Lattice QCD estimates κ_sph ≈ 0.1–1.0 (order of magnitude).
34The RS prediction 3/4 = 0.75 is within this range.

36## Main Results
37
38- `kappa_sph`: dimensionless sphaleron rate prefactor = 3/4
39- `sphaleron_rate_dimensionless`: Γ_sph/T⁴ = (3/4) · α_W⁵
40- `sphaleron_rate_pos`: Γ_sph/T⁴ > 0

101 exact value is a boundary datum in RS, not a derived constant
102 (`Constants.AlphaGenesis.KappaGammaIrreducibility`, `MeasurementVerdict`).
