The effect of dynamics on damage spreading in the two-dimensional classical XY model
J Chiu, Stephen Teitel
Abstract
The authors study damage spreading in the classical two-dimensional XY model, using a dynamics and distance measure which preserve the rotational invariance of the Hamiltonian. They find only a high temperature random phase and a low temperature ordered phase, consistent with equilibrium results. Their results contrast to previous results of Golinelli and Derrida (1988).
