Resonance structures in kink-antikink scattering in a quantum vacuum
Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Tanmay Vachaspati
We investigate kink-antikink scattering in the model in the presence of an additional scalar field, , that is in its quantum vacuum and interacts with via a …
Kink-antikink scattering in a quantum vacuum
Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Evangelos I. Sfakianakis, Tanmay Vachaspati +1
We study kink-antikink scattering in the sine-Gordon model in the presence of interactions with an additional scalar field, , that is in its quantum vacuum. In contrast to the c…
Quantum Formation of Topological Defects
Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Tanmay Vachaspati, George Zahariade
We consider quantum phase transitions with global symmetry breakings that result in the formation of topological defects. We evaluate the number densities of kinks, vortices, and m…
Emergence of classical structures from the quantum vacuum
Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Tanmay Vachaspati, George Zahariade
After a quantum phase transition the quantum vacuum can break up to form classical topological defects. We examine this process for scalar field models with symmetry for diff…
Rolling with quantum fields
Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study the dynamics of a classical scalar field that rolls down a linear potential as it interacts bi-quadratically with a quantum field. We explicitly solve the dynamical proble…
