| contents | Emergence of Complex Spatio-Temporal Order in Nonlinear Field Theories Marcelo Gleiser Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Solitons Nucleation Phase transitions Symmetry breaking We investigate the emergence of time-dependent nonperturbative configurations during the evolution of nonlinearscalar field models with symmetric and asymmetric double-well potentials. Complex spatio-temporalbehavior emerges as the system seeks to establish equipartition after a fast quench. We show that fast quenchesmay dramatically modify the decay rate of metastable states in first order phase transitions. We discuss possibleapplications in condensed matter systems and in inflationary cosmology. 2006 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46436607 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.4A Vol.36 |
