Motivated by recent numerical findings [M. Henkel, T. Enss, and M. Pleimling, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 39 (2006) L589] we re-examine via Monte Carlo simulations the linear response function of the two-dimensional Ising model with Glauber…

We present a new generalized topological current in terms of the order parameter field $\vec \phi$ to describe the topological defect system in O(n) symmetric time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model. With the aid of the $% \phi$-mapping…

We show that scale-scale correlations are a generic feature of slow-roll inflation theories. These correlations result from the long-time tails characteristic of the time dependent correlations because the long wavelength density…

We discuss global gauge fixing on the lattice, specifically to the lattice Landau gauge, with the goal of understanding the question of why the process becomes extremely slow for large lattices. We construct an artificial "gauge-fixing"…
