Abstrakt
We investigate the high temperature fate of four-dimensional gauge-Yukawa theories featuring short distance conformality of either interacting or noninteracting nature. The latter is known as complete asymptotic freedom and, as templates, we consider non-Abelian gauge theories featuring either two singlet scalars coupled to gauged fermions via Yukawa interactions or two gauged scalars with(out) fermions. For theories with interacting fixed points at short distance, known as asymptotically safe, we consider two calculable examples. Exploring the landscape of safe and free theories above we discover a class of complete asymptotically free theories for which symmetry breaks at arbitrary high temperatures. In its minimal form this class is constituted by a theory with two fundamental gauged scalars each gauged under an independent group.
