Phase transitions out of equilibrium: Domain formation and growth.
We study the dynamics of phase transitions out of equilibrium in weakly coupled scalar field theories. We consider the case in which there is a rapid supercooling from an initial symmetric phase in thermal equilibrium at temperature Ti > Tc to a final state at low temperature Tf ≈ 0. In particular we study the formation and growth of correlated domains out of equilibrium. It is shown that the d...
متن کاملOut of Equilibrium
This review article takes the volume by Mario Amendola and Jean-Luc Gaffard Out of Equilibrium as the starting point of a general assessment of the scope and perspectives of out-of-equilibrium economics. After describing the particular subject-matter covered by Amendola and Gaffard, the author calls attention upon he fundamental role in their treatment of time, coordination, and the magnitude o...
متن کاملSupergravity Domain Walls
We review the status of domain walls in N = 1 supergravity theories for both the vacuum domain walls as well as dilatonic domain walls. We concentrate on a systematic analysis of the nature of the space–time in such domain wall backgrounds and the special rôle that supersymmetry is playing in determining the nature of such configurations. Isotropic vacuum domain walls that can exist between iso...
متن کاملPuncture of gravitating domain walls
We investigate the semi-classical instability of vacuum domain walls to processes where the domain walls decay by the formation of closed string loop boundaries on their worldvolumes. Intuitively, a wall which is initially spherical may ‘pop’, so that a hole corresponding to a string boundary component on the wall, may form. We find instantons, and calculate the rates, for such processes. We sh...
متن کاملDomain Walls in QCD
QCD was shown to have a nontrivial vacuum structure due to the topology of the θ ≡ θ+2πn parameter. As a result of this nontrivial topology, in the large Nc limit, quasi-stable QCD domain walls appear, characterized by a transition in the singlet η field. We discuss the physics of these QCD domain walls as well as related axion domain walls and we present a new type of axion wall which also con...
