Abstract

The canonical Monte Carlo algorithm for simulating the production of string-like topological defects at a phase transition is extended by introducing a distribution of domain sizes. A strong correlation is found between the fraction in the form of ‘infinite’ string and the variance of the volume of the regions of constant phase.
