Numerical simulations of string networks in the Abelian-Higgs model
Graham Vincent, Nuno D. Antunes, Mark Hindmarsh
We present the results of a field theory simulation of networks of strings in the Abelian Higgs model. Starting from a random initial configuration we show that the resulting vorte…

The Thermodynamics of Cosmic String densities in U(1) Scalar Field Theory
Nuno D. Antunes, Luis M. A. Bettencourt, Mark Hindmarsh
We present a full characterization of the phase transition in U(1) scalar field theory and of the associated vortex string thermodynamics in 3D. We show that phase transitions in t…
