We consider model A dynamics for a quench from the disordered (confined) to the ordered (deconfined) QCD phase. The linear theory of spinodal decompositions is compared with data from an effective spin model. The critical mode of the linear approximation is determined. Further, the quench leads to c

β¦ Synopsis
We study the Glauber dynamics of simple spin systems to identify dynamical scenarios which may be of relevance for the deconfining phase transition in heavy ion collisions.

We investigate the deconfining phase transition in SU(3) p ure gauge theory and in full QCD with two flavors of staggered fermions by means of a gauge invariant thermal partition functional. In the pure gauge case our finite size scaling analysis is in agreement with the well known weak first order
A brief review is presented about our recent work on computer studies of a continuum model describing spinodal decomposition of binary fluid, which quantitatively accounts for corresponding experimental results. We then switch over to discussing problems of glass transitions. First we consider the u
