Thermodynamics of Gauge-Invariant U(1) Vortices from Lattice Monte Carlo Simulations
We study non-perturbatively and from first principles the thermodynamics of vortices in 3d U(1) gauge+Higgs theory, or the Ginzburg-Landau model, which has frequently been used as a model for cosmological topological defect formation. We discretize the system and introduce a gauge-invariant definiti...
