Abstract
Relaxational dynamics of the non-equilibrium normal domain in a superc onductor is considered. It is shown, both analytically and numerically that this relaxation leads to nucleation of topological vortices and antivortices. In the presence of strong pinning such a vortex/antivort ex phase persists infinitely.
