Welcome to CosmoTransitions’s documentation!

CosmoTransitions is a package for analyzing finite or zero-temperature cosmological phase transitions driven by single or multiple scalar fields. It is written and maintained by Carroll L. Wainwright (a.k.a. “Max”) (clwainwri@gmail.com), and is free for public use. If you use CosmoTransitions in scholarly work, please cite Comput. Phys. Commun. 183 (2012) [arXiv:1109.4189].
