Vortex String Formation in a 3D U(1) Temperature Quench
Nuno D. Antunes, Luis M. A. Bettencourt, Wojciech H. Zurek
We report the first large scale numerical study of the dynamics of the second order phase transition of a U(1) theory in three spatial dimensions. The transition is induced…

The length distribution of vortex strings in U(1) equilibrium scalar field theory
N. D. Antunes, L. M. A. Bettencourt
We characterize the statistical length distribution of vortex strings by studying the non-perturbative thermodynamics of scalar U(1) field theory in 3D. All parameters characterizi…
