Zurek-Kibble Causality Bounds in Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau Theory and Quantum Field Theory
Abstract
Description
Zurek's and Kibble's causal constraints for defect production at continuous transitions are encoded in the field equations that condensed matter systems and quantum fields satisfy. In this article we highlight some of the properties of the solutions to the equations and show to what extent they support the original ideas.
