We present a theory for the two kinds of dynamical quantum phase transitions, termed DPT-I and DPT-II, based on a minimal set of symmetry assumptions. In the special case of collective systems with infinite-range interactions, both are…

We study the nature of domain walls in an ordered phase in the phase-competing region of two Ising-type order parameters. Considering a two-component $\phi^4$ theory, we show that the domain wall of the ground-state (primary) order…

In this work we investigate symmetry breaking in the presence of a turbulent environment. The transition from a symmetric state to a symmetry-breaking state is demonstrated using two examples: (i) the transition of a two-dimensional flow to…

The d-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model is solved according to a variational method by separating phase and amplitude. The GL transition becomes first order for high superfluid density because of effects of phase fluctuations.…
