Dynamics of nucleation in thermal phase transitions
Oliver Gould, Joonas Hirvonen, Andrey Shkerin +1
We study dynamical effects during nucleation in thermal first-order phase transitions in field theory. Focusing on the classical regime of the decay of a metastable state, we prese…

Quantum field nucleating and Wigner functions
Joonas Hirvonen
We present a novel real-time framework for the decay of metastable states in quantum field theories using Wigner functions. The framework introduces a nonperturbative nucleation ra…
