Query: Dynamics of Phase Transitions by Hysteresis Methods I   In studies of the QCD deconfining phase transition or crossover by means of
heavy ion experiments, one ought to be concerned about non-equilibrium effects
due to heating and cooling of the system. Motivated by this, we look at
hysteresis methods to study the dynamics of phase transitions. Our systems are
temperature driven through the phase transition using updating procedures in
the Glauber universality class. Hysteresis calculations are presented for a
number of observables, including the (internal) energy, properties of
Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters and structure functions. We test the methods for 2d
Potts models, which provide a rich collection of phase transitions with a
number of rigorously known properties. Comparing with equilibrium
configurations we find a scenario where the dynamics of the transition leads to
a spinodal decomposition which dominates the statistical properties of the
configurations. One may expect an enhancement of low energy gluon production
due to spinodal decomposition of the Polyakov loops, if such a scenario is
realized by nature.
