Phase equilibration in bubble collisions.
In the context of an Abelian gauge symmetry, spontaneously broken at a first-order transition, we discuss the evolution of the phase difference between the Higgs fields in colliding bubbles. We show that the effect of dissipation, represented by a finite plasma conductivity, is to cause the phases to equlibrate on a time-scale, determined by the conductivity, which can be much smaller than the ...
متن کاملBubble collisions in Abelian gauge theories and the geodesic rule.
In an Abelian gauge symmetry, spontaneously broken at a first order phase transition, we investigate the evolution of two bubbles of the broken symmetry phase. The full field equations are evolved and we concentrate in particular on gauge invariant quantities, such as the integral around a closed loop of the phase gradient. An intriguing feature emerges, namely, the geodesic rule, commonly used...
متن کاملBubble collisions and defect formation in a damping environment.
Within the context of a first-order phase transition in the early Universe, we study the collision process for vacuum bubbles expanding in a plasma. The effects of the plasma are simulated by introducing a damping term in the equations of motion for a U(1) global field. We find that Lorentz-contracted spherically symmetric domain walls adequately describe the overdamped motion of the bubbles in...
متن کاملTowards observable signatures of other bubble universes. II. Exact solutions for thin-wall bubble collisions
We assess the effects of a collision between two vacuum bubbles in the thin-wall limit. After describing the outcome of a generic collision possessing the expected hyperbolic symmetry, we focus on collisions experienced by a bubble containing positive vacuum energy, which could in principle contain our observable universe. We provide criteria governing whether the post-collision domain wall acc...
متن کاملEvolution of the Order Parameter after Bubble Collisions
If a first-order phase transition is terminated by collisions of new-phase bubbles , there will exist a period of nonequilibrium between the time bubbles collide and the time thermal equilibrium is established. We study the behavior of the order parameter during this phase. We find that large nonthermal fluctuations at this stage tend to restore symmetry, i.e., the order parameter is smaller th...
