Density of hedgehogs just after a quench

TL;DR

This paper predicts the density of vortices and monopoles immediately after a rapid pressure quench, analyzing critical exponents in different damping regimes.

Contribution

It provides theoretical predictions for vortex and monopole densities post-quench, including critical exponents for overdamped and underdamped cases.

Findings

Predicted vortex and monopole densities after pressure quench

Derived critical exponents for different damping regimes

Analyzed implications for phase transition dynamics

Abstract

Density of vortices and monopoles after a rapid pressure quench is predicted. Critical exponents are worked out in overdamped and underdamped limits.
