Alternative method for measuring characteristic lengths in absorbing phase transitions

Abstract

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.

Universality class of the conserved Manna model in one dimension

Sang Bub Lee

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.

Abstract The statistical models we have analyzed so far are defined on a lattice and they have a microscopic length-scale given by the lattice spacing a. In all these models there is, however, another length-scale provided by the correlation length : this is a function of the coupling constants and can be varied by varying the external parameters of the systems.

Universality of continuous and discrete conserved Manna models in one dimension

Sang Bub Lee

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.

Dynamical scaling behavior of the one-dimensional conserved directed-percolation universality class

Sungchul Kwon, Yup Kim

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 At a critical point, the correlation length diverges: the statistical influctuations extend on all scales of the system and any attempt to solve the dynamics by taking into account only a finite number of degrees of freedom fails. In the absence of an exact solution of the model under consideration, the computation of the critical exponents is often obtained only by numerical methods and Monte Carlo simulations.
