Abstract
We present a dynamical description and analysis of non-equilibrium transitions in the noisy Ginzburg-Landau equation based on a canonical phase space formulation. The transition pathways are characterized by nucleation and subsequent propagation of domain walls or solitons. We also evaluate the Arrhenius factor in terms of an associated action and find good agreement with recent numerical optimization studies.
