A gauge-invariant framework for computing bubble nucleation rates at finitetemperature in the presence of radiative barriers was presented and advocatedfor model-building and phenomenological studies in an accompanying articlearXiv:2112.05472. Here, we detail this computation using the Abelian HiggsModel as an illustrative example. Subsequently, we recast this approach in thedimensionally-reduced high-temperature effective field theory for nucleation.This allows for including several higher order thermal resummations andfurthermore delineate clearly the approach's limits of validity. This approachprovides for robust perturbative treatments of bubble nucleation duringpossible first-order cosmic phase transitions, with implications forelectroweak baryogenesis and production of a stochastic gravitational wavebackground. Furthermore, it yields a sound comparison between results ofperturbative and non-perturbative computations.
