Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Findings in Physics Reported from Institute for Mathematical Sciences (Effect of Fluctuations On the Geodesic Rule for Topological Defect Formation)

Article Description
At finite temperatures, the field along a linear stretch of correlation length size is supposed to trace the shortest path in the field space given the two end point values, known as the geodesic rule. In this study, we compute the probability that, the field variations over distances of correlation length follow this rule in theories with O(2) global symmetry. We consider a simple ferromagnetic O(2)-spin model and a complex φ4 theory. The computations are carried out on an ensemble of equilibrium configurations, generated using Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical results suggest a significant deviation to the geodesic rule, relevant for the formation of topological defects during quench in second-order phase transition. Also for the case of O(2)-spins in two dimensions, the distribution and density of vortices, have been studied. It is found that, for quench temperatures close to the transition point, the Kibble-Zurek mechanism underestimates the equilibrium density of defects. The exponents corresponding to the width of the distributions are found to be smaller than Kibble mechanism estimates and match only when there is no deviation from the geodesic rule.
