Λ2 divergence at T = 0 −→ T2 correction at T = 0 So, naturalness =⇒ symmetry non-restoration? Not true for boson-fermion cancellations How about same-spin partners? “Symmetry non-restoration at high-temperatures, in Little-Higgs models” – Phys.Rev.D72 (2005) 043520
that the application of perturbation theory to EWPT physics is fraught with uncertainties as well as the potential for ambiguities.” – New J.Phys. 14 (2012) 125003 Perturbation theory is not expected to be well behaved IR divergences, resummations; high-temperature approximations Lattice methods are the best option (3d EFT)
same time, perturbation theory is the only feasible approach for surveying a broad range of BSM scenarios [...] One can then perform Monte Carlo computations that focus on a more limited range of parameters within a given model.” – New J.Phys. 14 (2012) 125003
(up to naturalness issues) Same-spin partners Phenomenologically motivated Does a theory with same spin partners have symmetry non-restoration at high temperature?

at the LHC yet But.. how?! LHC was supposed to generically produce anything and everything coloured, up to few 100 GeV! (eg: top partners) Could we reconcile with naturalness, at least at one-loop?
