Vortex Densities and Correlations at Phase Transitions
arXiv:hep-ph/9510385
Abstract
We present a model for the formation of relativistic vortices (strings) at a quench, and calculate their density and correlations. The significance of these to early universe and condensed-matter physics is discussed.
