An ice-type vertex model is formulated on a triangular lattice and solved exactly for restricted values of the vertex activities. It is found to undergo an infinite-order phase transition into an ordered antiferroelectric state and a first-order phase transition into a 'frozen' ferroelectric state.

Freeze Out

Abstract We study the stochastic background of gravitational waves which accompany the sudden freeze-out of dark matter triggered by a cosmological first order phase transition that endows dark matter with mass. We consider models that produce the measured dark matter relic abundance via (1) bubble filtering, and (2) inflation and reheating, and show that gravitational waves from these mechanisms are detectable at future interferometers.
