Cosmological Experiments in Condensed Matter Systems
read the original abstract
Topological defects are thought to be left behind by the cosmological phase transitions which occur as the universe expands and cools. Similar processes can be studied in the phase transitions which take place in the laboratory: ``Cosmological'' experiments in superfluid He$^4$ and in liquid crystals were carried out within the past few years, and their results shed a new light on the dynamics of the defect-formation process. The aim of this paper is to review the key ideas behind this cosmology - condensed matter connection and to propose new experiments which could probe heretofore unaddressed aspects of the topological defects formation process.

Bubble dynamics and vortex formation in holographic first-order superfluid phase transitions
Holographic simulations of first-order superfluid transitions reveal that three-bubble collisions produce annihilating vortex-antivortex pairs whose lifetime scales logarithmically near critical radii, deviating from ...

Vortex-reconnection energy bounds in Bose-Einstein-condensed and superfluid dark matter halos
Vortex reconnections in BEC/superfluid dark matter halos produce dark-sector heating at a rate that is secular but sub-virial for relaxed non-interacting soliton cores, with the dominant uncertainty being the true vor...

The price for monopole dark matter
Dark matter can consist of 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles in a dark SU(2) sector, but only in a narrow window with m_M ≳ 10^8 GeV, near-bound dark radiation, and possibly detectable gravitational waves.

Vortex-reconnection energy bounds in Bose-Einstein-condensed and superfluid dark matter halos
Vortex reconnections in BEC/superfluid dark-matter cores can transfer at most 0.06–4.5% of the virial energy in 10 Gyr under fiducial assumptions, so they cannot appreciably restructure the core.
