We simulate the behaviour of a Higgs-like field in the vicinity of a Schwarzschild black hole using a highly accurate numerical framework. We consider both the limit of the zero-temperature Higgs potential and a toy model for the time-dependent evolution of the potential when immersed in a slowly cooling radiation bath. Through these numerical investigations, we aim to improve our understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of a symmetry-breaking field (such as the Higgs) in the vicinity of a compact object such as a black hole. Understanding this dynamics may suggest new approaches for studying properties of scalar fields using black holes as a laboratory.This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Higgs Cosmology'.
我们使用高精度数值框架模拟史瓦西黑洞附近类希格斯场的行为。我们既考虑了零温希格斯势的极限情况，也考虑了一个玩具模型，该模型描述了沉浸在缓慢冷却辐射浴中的势随时间的演化。通过这些数值研究，我们旨在加深对诸如黑洞等致密天体附近对称破缺场（如希格斯场）非平衡动力学的理解。理解这种动力学可能会为利用黑洞作为实验室来研究标量场的性质提供新方法。本文是“希格斯宇宙学”西奥·墨菲会议特刊的一部分。
