The critical behavior of absorbing phase transitions for two typical models in the Manna universality class, the conserved Manna model and the conserved lattice gas model, both on a square lattice, was investigated using the natural initial states. Various critical exponents were estimated using the static and dynamic simulations. The exponents characterizing dynamics of active particles differ considerably from the known exponents obtained using the random initial states, whereas those associated with the steady-state quantities remain the same. The critical exponents for both models were consistent with errors of less than 1% and satisfied the known scaling relations; thus, the known violation of scaling relations for models with a conserved field was resolved using the natural initial states. The results differed by 7%∼12% from the directed percolation values.

The nonequilibrium absorbing phase transition of the discrete conserved Manna model was studied via Monte Carlo simulations on a one-dimensional chain, using the natural initial states with a sequential update. The critical density of the particles was found to be smaller than the recently reported value, and the order-parameter exponent was considerably different from the directed percolation (DP) value. The influence of quenched disorder was also studied on a diluted strip of L_{x}×L_{y} lattice sites with L_{x}≫L_{y}, and the results were compared with those of the contact process (CP). It was found that the Manna model and the CP exhibited distinctly different behaviors; the CP exhibited nonuniversal power-law decreases of active-site densities in the Griffith phase, whereas the Manna model showed a standard critical behavior. These results consistently suggest that the Manna model belongs to a universality class that is different from the DP class.
We investigate the dynamical scaling behavior of the static diffusive epidemic process and a fixed-energy Manna sandpile model, undergoing nonequilibrium absorbing phase transitions in one dimension. These models belong to the so-called conserved directed-percolation or Manna universality class characterized by the conservation of the total particle number, activity coupled to a nondiffusive conserved field and infinitely many absorbing states. We measure the dynamical exponents of these models in one dimension by using the critical spreading simulation of a localized activity in absorbing configurations. In the spreading simulations, boundaries are never touched, so the results are free from the finite-size effects. In contrast to the scattered results for the different models from the previous finite-size scaling analyses, we obtain consistent estimates of the dynamical exponents for both models.
Abstract The critical behaviour of an absorbing phase transition for the conserved continuous Manna model (CCMM) was investigated in one dimension via extensive Monte Carlo simulations, using sequential updates from the uniform initial states. The discrete conserved Manna model (DCMM) was also revisited and previous data, together with newly generated data, were reanalysed and compared with those for the CCMM. All critical exponents in the two models appear to be consistent to within statistical error, whereas the off-critical scaling function takes a different form in each model. The results differed by less than 10% from those of the directed percolation (DP) universality class. To examine the existence of the Griffith phase, additional simulations were carried out on a stripe of 10 5 × 20 lattice sites, 20% of which were diluted. While the non-universal power laws were reported for the models in the DP class, there was no sign of the Griffith phase in either model. Thus, we conclude that both the DCMM and CCMM belong to a universality class that is different from the DP class. We examine the possibility of weak universality between the discrete and continuous models, whereby the critical exponents are similar, but the off-critical scaling functions are different.
The conserved lattice gas model in one dimension, generated from various initial states, was intensively studied. The dynamic critical exponents α and ν ║ associated with the decay of activeparticle densities and the correlation time, respectively, were found to depend drastically on the initial states. The perfectly-ordered initial state prepared by repeatedly placing the block ‘0011’ yielded a standard critical behavior, with the critical exponents satisfying all the scaling relations. On the other hand, the natural initial states and the ordered initial states of blocks of odd numbers of particles yielded an exponent α slightly larger than that of an ordered state of ‘0011’, but the data for active-particle densities did not satisfy scaling function. The exponents α and ν ║ were also calculated from, respectively, the autocorrelation function and the persistence distribution of the active-particle densities, both in the steady states. The value of α was found to be close to the value for an ordered state of ‘0011’ whereas the value of ν ║ was consistent with that for the random initial states.
We applied an alternative method for measuring characteristic lengths reported recently by one of us [J. M. Kim, J. Stat. Mech. (2021) 03321310.1088/1742-5468/abe599] to the models in the Manna universality class, i.e., the stochastic Manna sandpile and conserved lattice gas models in various dimensions. The universality of the Manna model has been under long debate particularly in one dimension since the work of M. Basu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 015702 (2012)10.1103/PhysRevLett.109.015702], who claimed that the Manna model belongs to the directed percolation (DP) universality class and that the independent Manna universality class does not exist. We carried out Monte Carlo simulations for the stochastic Manna sandpile model in one, two, and three dimensions and the conserved lattice gas model in three dimensions, using both the natural initial states (NISs) and uniform initial states (UISs). In two and three dimensions, the results for R(t), defined by R(t)=L[〈ρ_{a}^{2}〉/〈ρ_{a}〉^{2}-1]^{1/d}, L and ρ_{a} being, respectively, the system size and activity density, yielded consistent results for the two initial states. R(t) is proportional to the correlation length following R(t)∼t^{1/z} at the critical point. In one dimension, the data of R(t) for the Manna model using NISs yielded anomalous behavior, suggesting that NISs require much longer prerun time steps to homogenize the distribution of particles and larger systems to eliminate the finite-size effect than those employed in the literature. On the other hand, data from UISs yielded a power-law behavior, and the estimated critical exponents differed from the values in the DP class.
A one-dimensional conserved lattice-gas model is known to undergo continuous absorbing phase transitions where some of the critical exponents are exactly known. In one dimension, we recently showed that the model is mapped onto a two species reaction A+B→0 with diffusion rate of D_{A}>0 and D_{B}=0. In this work, it is explicitly shown from the scaling theory for A+B→0 that the observed scaling behavior of the conserved lattice-gas model is not associated with the absorbing phase transitions. Instead, the model indeed undergoes a crossover between two different scaling behaviors of A+B→0, the scaling behaviors of equal and unequal initial densities of two species. The crossover is similar to the absorbing transitions in many respects but some important features of continuous transitions such as the diverging fluctuations of an order parameter are absent.
