Revisiting evolution of domain walls and their gravitational radiation with CosmoLattice
read the original abstract
Employing the publicly available CosmoLattice code, we conduct numerical simulations of a domain wall network and the resulting gravitational waves (GWs) in a radiation-dominated Universe in the $Z_2$-symmetric scalar field model. In particular, the domain wall evolution is investigated in detail both before and after reaching the scaling regime, using the combination of numerical and theoretical methods. We demonstrate that the total area of closed walls is negligible compared to that of a single long wall stretching throughout the simulation box. Therefore, the closed walls are unlikely to have a significant impact on the overall network evolution. This is in contrast with the case of cosmic strings, where formation of loops is crucial for maintaining the system in the scaling regime. To obtain the GW spectrum, we develop a technique that separates physical effects from numerical artefacts arising due to finite box size and non-zero lattice spacing. Our results on the GW spectrum agree well with Refs. [29, 30], which use different codes. Notably, we observe a peak at the Hubble scale, an exponential falloff at scales shorter than the wall width, and a plateau/bump at intermediate scales. We also study sensitivity of obtained results on the choice of initial conditions. We find that different types of initial conditions lead to qualitatively similar domain wall evolution in the scaling regime, but with important variations translating into different intensities of GWs.

Loss of the Scaling Attractor in Self-Gravitating Domain Wall Networks
Coupling domain wall networks to dynamical expansion shows the scaling attractor is lost, leading to wall-dominated frustration.

Cuspidal Singularities in Collapsing Domain Walls
Collapsing domain walls generically form cuspidal edge and vertex singularities captured by Nambu-Goto and eikonal approximations and reproduced in field theory simulations.

Caustic formation in DBI models: Wave propagation on planar domain walls
DBI domain walls stay shock-free in the hyperbolic regime across 2D flat space and extended physical setups, with caustics forming only upon loss of hyperbolicity and exhibiting cusp profiles.

Caustic formation in DBI models: Wave propagation on planar domain walls
Hyperbolic DBI remains caustic-free for generic waves on planar domain walls in 2D flat space and under realistic deformations; only hyperbolicity loss produces cusp caustics.

Domain walls through different cosmologies
Domain-wall network area scales as S ≈ 2ξV/τ with ξ≈1.2 across cosmologies from dust to near-Minkowski, so the particle horizon—not H⁻¹—sets the correlation length and GW peak.

Fixing IR tail of gravitational waves from domain walls
Per-mode time averaging after source shutdown removes nonphysical IR wiggles in simulated GW spectra from domain walls; PRS scaling yields incorrect spectra even with rescaled sources.

Domain Walls From Confining Bubbles: $SU(N_{c})$ Yang Mills at Finite $\theta$
A nonzero theta angle weakens supercooling in SU(Nc) Yang-Mills confinement and makes any resulting domain-wall gravitational-wave signal invisible except under severe fine-tuning.
