Abstract
Results from a comprehensive analytical and numerical study of nonequilibri um dynamics in the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation have be en presented. In particular, spiral defects have been used to characterize the domain growth law and the evolution morphology. An asymptotic analysis of the single-spiral correlation function shows a sequence of singularities -analogous to those seen for time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau models with O(n ) symmetry, where n is even.
