The main perturbative contribution to the free energy of an electroweak interface is due to the effective potential and the tree level kinetic term. The derivative corrections are investigated with one-loop perturbation theory. The action is treated in derivative, in heat kernel, and in a multi local expansion. The massive contributions turn out to be well described by the Z-factor. The massless mode, plagued by infrared problems, is numerically less important. Its perturbatively reliable part can by calculated in derivative expansion as well. A self consistent way to include the Z-factor in the formula for the interface tension is presented.

The hot electroweak potential for small Higgs field values is argued to obtain contributions from a fluctuating gauge field background leading to confinement. The destabilization of F^2=0 and the crossover are discussed in our phenomenological approach, also based on lattice data.
We reanalyze the two-loop electroweak hadronic contributions to the muon g-2 that may be enhanced by large logarithms. The present evaluation is improved over those already existing in the literature by the implementation of the current algebra Ward identities and the inclusion of the correct short-distance QCD behaviour of the relevant hadronic Greens function.
We try to separate the perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to the plaquette of pure SU(3) gauge theory. To do this we look at the large-n asymptotic behaviour of the perturbation series in order to estimate the contribution of the as-yet uncalculated terms in the series. We find no evidence for the previously reported Lambda^2 contribution to the gluon condensate. Attempting to determine the conventional Lambda^4 condensate gives a value of approximately 0.03(2) GeV^4, in reasonable agreement with sum rule estimates, though with very large uncertainties.
We discuss nonperturbative contributions to the 3-dimensional one-loop effective potential of the electroweak theory at high temperatures in the framework of the stochastic vacuum model. It assumes a gauge-field background with Gaussian correlations which leads to confinement. The instability of <F^2>=0 in Yang-Mills theory appears for small Higgs expectation value <phi^2> in an IR regularized form. The gauge boson propagator obtains a positive momentum-dependent ``diamagnetic effective (mass)^2 due to confinement effects and a negative one due to ``paramagnetic spin-spin interactions which are related to the <F^2>=0 instability. Numerical evaluation of an approximate effective potential containing these masses shows qualitatively the fading away of the first-order phase transition with increasing Higgs mass which was observed in lattice calculations. The crossover point can be roughly determined postulating that the effective phi^4 and phi^2 terms vanish there.
In the present paper, we first give a detailed study on the pQCD corrections to the leading-twist part of BSR. Previous pQCD corrections to the leading-twist part derived under conventional scale-setting approach up to ${cal O}(alpha_s^4)$-level still show strong renormalization scale dependence. The principle of maximum conformality (PMC) provides a systematic way to eliminate conventional renormalization scale-setting ambiguity by determining the accurate $alpha_s$-running behavior of the process with the help of renormalization group equation. Our calculation confirms the PMC prediction satisfies the standard renormalization group invariance, e.g. its fixed-order prediction does scheme-and-scale independent. In low $Q^2$-region, the effective momentum of the process is small and to have a reliable prediction, we adopt four low-energy $alpha_s$ models to do the analysis. Our predictions show that even though the high-twist terms are generally power suppressed in high $Q^2$-region, they shall have sizable contributions in low and intermediate $Q^2$ domain. By using the more accurate scheme-and-scale independent pQCD prediction, we present a novel fit of the non-perturbative high-twist contributions by comparing with the JLab data.
