Renormalization-group flow in the 3D Georgi-Glashow model
Abstract
Description
The renormalization-group (RG) flow in the finite-temperature (2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model is explored. This is done in the limit when the squared electric coupling constant is much larger than the mass of the Higgs field. The novel equation describing the evolution of the Higgs mass is derived and integrated along the separatrices of the RG flow in the limit when the original theory reduces to the 2D XY model. In particular, it is checked that in the vicinity of the phase-transition point, there exists a range of parameters allowing to the Higgs mass evolved along some of the separatrices to remain much smaller than the squared electric coupling constant.
