Recently B. Derrida [Phys. Rev. E 55, 3705 (1997)] introduced a numerical technique that allows one to measure the fraction of persistent spins in a coarsening nonequilibrium system at finite temperature. In the present work we extend this…
The usual path integral formulation for scalar particles at finite density involves a sign problem, making numerical simulation impractical. We present alternative methods free of this difficulty. We apply these approaches to phi^4 theory…

The inherently unstable nature of domain walls makes their detection in laboratory experiments extremely challenging. We propose a method to stabilise domain walls in a particular modified gravity model inside a cavity. We suggest two ways…
The Horndeski gravity yields domain wall solutions that connect asymmetric vacua for a certain region of parameters. In the thin wall limit there exist BPS domain walls that connect stable vacua. That is, the false vacua in this theory…
A classic problem in analysis is to solve nonlinear equations of the form \begin{equation*} F(x)=0, \end{equation*} where $F:D^n\to \mathbb{R}^m$ is a continuous map of the closed unit disk $D^n\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in $\mathbb{R}^m$. A…

In pattern-forming systems, competition between patterns with different wave numbers can lead to domain structures, which consist of regions with differing wave numbers separated by domain walls. For domain structures well above threshold…
We propose a new numerical domain decomposition method for solving elliptic equations on compact Riemannian manifolds. One advantage of this method is its ability to bypass the need for global triangulations or grids on the manifolds.…
We explore spherically symmetric static solutions in a subclass of unitary scalar-tensor theories of gravity, called the `Fab Four' models. The weak field large distance solutions may be phenomenologically viable, but only if the…
We introduce a method to estimate the size of the domain of definition of the solutions of a meromorphic vector field on a neighborhood of its pole divisor. The corresponding techniques are, in a certain sense, quantitative versions of some…
The parametrically driven Ginsburg-Landau equation has well-known stationary solutions -- the so-called Bloch and Neel, or Ising, walls. In this paper, we construct an explicit stationary solution describing a bound state of two walls. We…

Anthropic solutions to the cosmological constant problem require seemingly unnatural scalar field potentials with a very small slope or domain walls (branes) with a very small coupling to a four-form field. Here we introduce a class of…
We present a construction of domain walls in string theory. The domain walls can bridge both Minkowski and AdS string vacua. A key ingredient in the construction are novel classical Yang-Mills configurations, including instantons, which…
We write down the general conditions for N=1 supersymmetric four-dimensional domain walls, deriving them from a ten-dimensional point of view using generalized complex geometry. In cases where the compactification allows for a truncation to…
We consider supersymmetric domain walls of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}\!=\!1$ $Sp(N)$ SQCD with $F\!=\!N+1$ and $F\!=\!N+2$ flavors. First, we study numerically the differential equations defining the walls, classifying the solutions.…
