Vortex String Formation in a 3D U(1) Temperature Quench
We report the first large scale numerical study of the dynamics of the second order phase transition of a U(1) $λϕ^4$ theory in three spatial dimensions. The transition is induced by a time-dependent temperature drop in the heat bath to which the fields are coupled. We present a detailed account …
