Lattice study of the critical bubble in deconfinement transition
Kari Rummukainen, Riikka Seppä, Riikka Seppä +1
Strongly coupled theories are of phenomenological interest, for example as dark matter candidates. Theories that can undergo first order thermal phase transitions are particularly…

Numerical simulations of magnetic monopole evolution in an expanding universe
Mark Hindmarsh, Asier Lopez-Eiguren, Riikka Seppä +1
Magnetic monopoles are an inevitable feature of post-inflation symmetry-breaking phase transitions in grand unified theories. Analytic estimates of their density indicate that they…

Resolving the critical bubble in SU(8) deconfinement transition
Kari Rummukainen, Riikka Seppä, David J. Weir
Strongly coupled confining models with a first order phase transition present an interesting DM candidate. Near the critical temperature these models are strongly non-perturbative,…
