Classical Behaviour After a Phase Transition: II. The Formation of Classical Defects
R. J. Rivers, F. C. Lombardo, F. D. Mazzitelli
Classical defects (monopoles, vortices, etc.) are a characteristic consequence of many phase transitions of quantum fields. Most likely these include transitions in the early unive…

Vortex Densities and Correlations at Phase Transitions
R. J. Rivers
We present a model for the formation of relativistic vortices (strings) at a quench, and calculate their density and correlations. The significance of these to early universe and c…

Fluctuations at Phase Transitions
R. J. Rivers
We use the closed time-path formalism to calculate fluctuations at phase transitions, both in and out of equilibrium. Specifically, we consider the creation of vortices by fluctuat…
