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…
Thermal false vacuum decay in (1+1)-dimensions: Evidence for non-equilibrium dynamics
Dalila Pîrvu, Andrey Shkerin, Sergey Sibiryakov
We numerically study the evolution of a classical real scalar field in dimensions with initial conditions describing thermal fluctuations around a metastable vacuum. We t…
Thermal False Vacuum Decay Is More Than It Seems
Dalila Pîrvu, Andrey Shkerin, Sergey Sibiryakov
We study the decay of a thermally excited metastable vacuum in classical field theory using real-time numerical simulations. We find a significantly lower decay rate than predicted…
Bubble velocities and oscillon precursors in first-order phase transitions
Dalila Pîrvu, Matthew C. Johnson, Sergey Sibiryakov
Metastable `false' vacuum states are an important feature of the Standard Model of particle physics and many theories beyond it. Describing the dynamics of a phase transition out o…
