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.

Crossover from the parity-conserving pair contact process with diffusion to other universality classes

Su‐Chan Park, Hyunggyu Park

The pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) with modulo 2 conservation (PCPD2) [ 2A-->4A , 2A-->0 ] is studied in one dimension, focused on the crossover to other well established universality classes: the directed Ising (DI) and the directed percolation (DP). First, we show that the PCPD2 shares the critical behaviors with the PCPD, both with and without directional bias. Second, the crossover from the PCPD2 to the DI is studied by including a parity-conserving single-particle process (A-->3A) . We find the crossover exponent 1/varphi_{1}=0.57(3) , which is argued to be identical to that of the PCPD-to-DP crossover by adding A-->2A . This suggests that the PCPD universality class has a well-defined fixed point distinct from the DP. Third, we study the crossover from a hybrid-type reaction-diffusion process belonging to the DP [ 3A-->5A , 2A-->0 ] to the DI by adding A-->3A . We find 1/varphi_{2}=0.73(4) for the DP-to-DI crossover. The inequality of varphi_{1} and varphi_{2} further supports the non-DP nature of the PCPD scaling. Finally, we introduce a symmetry-breaking field in the dual spin language to study the crossover from the PCPD2 to the DP. We find 1/varphi_{3}=1.23(10) , which is associated with a new independent route from the PCPD to the DP.

Influence of turbulent mixing on critical behavior of directed percolation process: Effect of compressibility

Juha Honkonen, T. Lučivjanský, Viktor Škultéty

Universal behavior is a typical emergent feature of critical systems. A paramount model of the nonequilibrium critical behavior is the directed bond percolation process that exhibits an active-to-absorbing state phase transition in the vicinity of a percolation threshold. Fluctuations of the ambient environment might affect or destroy the universality properties completely. In this work, we assume that the random environment can be described by means of compressible velocity fluctuations. Using field-theoretic models and renormalization group methods, we investigate large-scale and long-time behavior. Altogether, 11 universality classes are found, out of which 4 are stable in the infrared limit and thus macroscopically accessible. In contrast to the model without velocity fluctuations, a possible candidate for a realistic three-dimensional case, a regime with relevant short-range noise, is identified. Depending on the dimensionality of space and the structure of the turbulent flow, we calculate critical exponents of the directed percolation process. In the limit of the purely transversal random force, critical exponents comply with the incompressible results obtained by previous authors. We have found intriguing nonuniversal behavior related to the mutual effect of compressibility and advection.
