The Production of Strings and Monopoles at Phase Transitions
R. J. Rivers, T. S. Evans
We shall show that the density of defects produced at a second-order phase transition is determined by the correlation length of the fields. This is true both for defects appearing…

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…
