Description
In many models of electroweak symmetry breaking, the vacuum
structure depends crucially on radiative effects. In order to compute
the decay rate of metastable states, the loop corrections must therefore
be accounted for in the tunneling solitons. In turn, the loops depend on
the solitonic background, such that self-consistent solutions must be
found. We will discuss the relevance of this problem for the finding
lifetime of the Standard Model vacuum as well as the development of
methods of resolving this problem. (based on 1509.08480, 1509.07847,
