Winding Number Transitions in the Mottola-Wipf Model on a Circle

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-08-15 v2

Abstract

Winding number transitions from quantum to classical behavior are studied in the case of the {1+1} dimensional Mottola-Wipf model with the space coordinate on a circle for exploring the possibility of obtaining transitions of second order. The model is also studied as a prototype theory which demonstrates the procedure of such investigations. In the model at hand we find that even on a circle the transitions remain those of first order.
