Vortex Dipole Occupation Number Spectra

Time evolution of the radial occupation number spectra n(k) starting from an single initial vortex dipole until annihilation. In the infrared, the spectra agree to high accuarcy, while deviations arise in the UV. This agrees with the expectation since we matched the IR dynamics of both theories. Deviations at very late times occur due to different annihilation dynamics in the two theories. Initially, we align the vortex dipole horizontally with a separation of 150 grid points in both theories. The results are produced on a 512 x 512 numerical grid for both theories and with 32 collocation points along the z-direction in holography
