The Densities, Correlations and Length Distributions of Vortices Produced at a Gaussian Quench
Abstract
Description
We present a model for the formation of relativistic global vortices (strings) at a quench, and calculate their density and correlations. The significance of these results to early universe and condensed-matter physics is discussed. In particular, there is always open, or infinite, string.
