Abstract
Zurek's and Kibble's causal constraints for defect production at continuous transitions are. encoded in the. field equations that condensed matter sys tems and quantum fields satisfy, In this article we highlight some of the. properties of the solutions to the equations and show to what extent they s upport the original ideas.
