We have studied the cosmological evolution of domain wall networks in two, three and four spatial dimensions using high-resolution field theory simulations. The dynamical range and number of our simulations is larger than in previous works, but does not allow us to exclude previous hints of deviations to the naively expected scale-invariant evolution. These results therefore suggest that the approach of domain wall networks to linear scaling is a much slower process than that of cosmic strings, which has been previously characterized in detail.

Dynamical criterion for biased domain-wall formation
hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

Derives dynamical criterion for biased domain wall formation by evaluating p_fv at freeze-out temperature T_fo, producing stricter condition than conventional static threshold and consistency condition T_fo > T_ann.
