The authors' main claim Current flow across a magnetically ordered state is shown to lead to a defect-unbinding phase transition which is intrinsically nonequilibrium in the sense of not being driven by a variation in effective temperature.

A Keldysh-contour effective field theory is derived for magnetic vortices in the presence of current flow. The effect of adiabatic and non-adiabatic spin transfer torques on vortex motion is highlighted. Similarities to and differences from the superconducting case are presented and explained. Current flow across a magnetically ordered state is shown to lead to a defect-unbinding phase transition which is intrinsically nonequilibrium in the sense of not being driven by a variation in effective temperature. The dependence of the density of vortices on the current density is determined.

Original abstract
A Keldysh-contour effective field theory is derived for magnetic vortices in the presence of current flow. The effect of adiabatic and non-adiabatic spin transfer torques on vortex motion is highlighted. Similarities to and differences from the superconducting case are presented and explained. Current flow across a magnetically ordered state is shown to lead to a defect-unbinding phase transition which is intrinsically nonequilibrium in the sense of not being driven by a variation in effective temperature. The dependence of the density of vortices on the current density is determined.

[ref] In many of the cases of nonequilibrium quantum criticality studied to date, the dominant physics is that the nonequilibrium drive acts to produce a noise term (typically delta-correlated at long scales) in the equation of motion for the critical fluctuations.
