SCHRÖDINGER INVARIANCE IN DISCRETE STOCHASTIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

Local scale invariance for lattice models is studied using new realizations of the Schrödinger algebra. The two-point function is calculated and it turns out that the result can be reproduced from exact two-point correlation functions evaluated in the stationary state of several simple stochastic models.

ON THE TWO-POINT CORRELATION FUNCTION IN DYNAMICAL SCALING AND SCHRÖDINGER INVARIANCE

Malte Henkel

The extension of dynamical scaling to local, space-time dependent rescaling factors is investigated. For a dynamical exponent z=2, the corresponding invariance group is the Schrödinger group. Schrödinger invariance is shown to determine completely the two-point correlation function. The result is checked in two exactly solvable models.

Autocorrelation functions in phase-ordering kinetics from local scale invariance

Malte Henkel, Florian Baumann

The explicit calculation of the scaling form of the two-time autocorrelation function in phase-ordering kinetics and in those cases of non-equilibrium critical dynamics where the dynamical exponent z = 2 through the extension of dynamical scaling to local scale invariance is reviewed. Conceptually, this mainly requires an extension from the usually considered d -dimensional ageing or Schrödinger algebras to a new kind of representation of the conformal algebra in d + 2 dimensions. Explicit tests in several exactly solved models of simple magnets and through simulations in the 2D Ising and q -states Potts models ( q = 2, 3, 8) quenched to T < T c are presented and the extension to systems with non-equilibrium steady states is discussed through two exactly solvable models as well. In the context of surface growth models, possible generalizations for a dynamical exponent z = 4 and beyond are discussed.

Schrödinger-invariance in non-equilibrium critical dynamics

Malte Henkel, Stoimen Stoimenov

The scaling functions of single-time and two-time correlators in systems undergoing non-equilibrium critical dynamics with dynamical exponent ${z}=2$ are predicted from a new time-dependent non-equilibrium representation of the Schrödinger algebra. These explicit predictions are tested and confirmed in the ageing of several exactly solvable models.

Schrödinger-invariance in phase-ordering kinetics

Stoimen Stoimenov, Malte Henkel

The generic shape of the single-time and two-time correlators in non-equilibrium phase-ordering kinetics with ${z}=2$ is obtained from the co-variance of the four-point response functions. Their non-equilibrium scaling forms follow from a new non-equilibrium representation of the Schrödinger algebra.

Local scale invariances in the bosonic contact and pair-contact processes

Florian Baumann, Stoimen Stoimenov, Malte Henkel

Local scale-invariance for ageing systems without detailed balance is tested through studying the dynamical symmetries of the critical bosonic contact process and the critical bosonic pair-contact process.Their field-theoretical actions can be split into a Schrödinger-invariant term and a pure noise term. It is shown that the two-time response and correlation functions are reducible to certain multipoint response functions which depend only on the Schrödinger-invariant part of the action. For the bosonic contact process, the representation of the Schrödinger group can be derived from the free diffusion equation, whereas for the bosonic pair-contact process, a new representation of the Schrödinger group related to a non-linear Schrödinger equation with dimensionful couplings is constructed. The resulting predictions of local scale-invariance for the two-time responses and correlators are completely consistent with the exactly-known results in both models.
