Condensation phenomena in gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2020-10-07 v1

Abstract

Gravity can play a role in critical phenomena. Topological singularities induce ground state degeneracy and break the continuum symmetry of the vacuum. They also generate momenta oscillations about an average momentum and a positive gravitational susceptibility. Gravitational analogues of the laws of Curie and Bloch have been found for a one-dimensional model. The critical temperature for a change in phase from unbound to isolated vortices has also been calculated in a XYXY-model.
