Abstract

An introduction to the subject of baryon number non-conservation in the electroweak theory at high temperatures of energies is followed by a summary of our discovery of an infinite surface of sphaleron- like configurations which play a key role in baryon number non- conserving transitions in a hot electroweak plasma.
