Vertex dynamics during domain growth in three-state models.

Topological aspects of interfaces are studied by comparing quantitatively the evolving three-color patterns in three different models, such as the three-state voter, Potts, and extended voter models. The statistical analysis of some geometrical features allows us to explore the role of different elementary processes during distinct coarsening phenomena in the above models.
