Certain dissipative Ginzburg-Landau models predict existence of planar interfaces moving with constant velocity. In most cases the interface solutions are hard to obtain because pertinent evolution equations are nonlinear. We present a systematic perturbative expansion which allows us to compute effects of small terms added to the free energy functional of a soluble model. As an example, we take the exactly soluble model with single order parameter $phi$ and the potential $V_0(phi) = Aphi^2 + B phi^3 + phi^4$, and we perturb it by adding $V_1(phi) = {1/2} epsilon_1 phi^2 partial_i phi partial_i phi + 1/5 epsilon_2 phi^5 + 1/6 epsilon_3 phi^6. $ We discuss the corresponding changes of the velocity of the planar interface.

In this paper we study the low energy physics of Landau-Ginzburg models with N=(0,2) supersymmetry. We exhibit a number of classes of relatively simple LG models where the conformal field theory at the low energy fixed point can be explicitly identified. One interesting class of fixed points can be thought of as heterotic minimal models. Other examples include N=(0,2) renormalization group flows that end up at N=(2,2) minimal models and models with non-abelian symmetry.
In this paper we describe a physical realization of a family of non-compact Kahler threefolds with trivial canonical bundle in hybrid Landau-Ginzburg models, motivated by some recent non-Kahler solutions of Strominger systems, and utilizing some recent ideas from GLSMs. We consider threefolds given as fiber products of compact genus g Riemann surfaces and noncompact threefolds. Each genus g Riemann surface is constructed using recent GLSM tricks, as a double cover of P^1 branched over a degree 2g + 2 locus, realized via nonperturbative effects rather than as the critical locus of a superpotential. We focus in particular on special cases corresponding to a set of Kahler twistor spaces of certain hyperKahler four-manifolds, specifically the twistor spaces of R^4, C^2/Z_k, and S^1 x R^3. We check in all cases that the condition for trivial canonical bundle arising physically matches the mathematical constraint.
Long-standing discrepancies within determinations of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter $kappa$ from supercritical field measurements on superconducting microspheres are reexamined. The discrepancy in tin is shown to result from differing methods of analyses, whereas the discrepancy in indium is a consequence of significantly differing experimental results. The reanalyses however confirms the lower $kappa$ determinations to within experimental uncertainties.
In this paper we investigate bubble nucleation in a disordered Landau-Ginzburg model. First we adopt the standard procedure to average over the disordered free energy. This quantity is represented as a series of the replica partition functions of the system. Using the saddle-point equations in each replica partition function, we discuss the presence of a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism. The leading term of the series is given by a large-N Euclidean replica field theory. Next, we consider finite temperature effects. Below some critical temperature, there are N real instantons-like solutions in the model. The transition from the false to the true vacuum for each replica field is given by the nucleation of a bubble of the true vacuum. In order to describe these irreversible processes of multiple nucleation, going beyond the diluted instanton approximation, an effective model is constructed, with one single mode of a bosonic field interacting with a reservoir of N identical two-level systems.
The Landau-Ginzburg B-model for a germ of a holomorphic function with an isolated critical point is constructed by K. Saito and finished by M. Saito. Douai and Sabbah construct the Landau-Ginzburg B-models for some Laurent polynomials. The construction relies on analytic procedures, and one can not expect it can be done by purely algebraic method. In this note, we work out the l-adic realization of the algebraic part of the construction.
