Infinitely-Many Absorbing-State Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a general field-theoretic strategy to analyze three connected families of continuous phase transitions which occur in nonequilibrium steady-states. We focus on transitions taking place between an active state and one absorbing state, when there exist an infinite number of such absorbing states. In such transitions the order parameter is coupled to an auxiliary field. Three situations arise according to whether the auxiliary field is diffusive and conserved, static and conserved, or finally static and not conserved.

Universality class of nonequilibrium phase transitions with infinitely many absorbing states.
We consider systems whose steady states exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active state to one-among an infinite number-absorbing state, as some control parameter is varied across a threshold value. The pair contact process, stochastic fixed-energy sandpiles, activated random walks, and many other cellular automata or reaction-diffusion processes are covered by our analysis. We a...
متن کاملPredictive Information in a Nonequilibrium Critical Model
We propose predictive information, that is, information between a long past of duration T and the entire infinitely long future of a time series, as a general order parameter to study phase transitions in physical systems independently of the underlying dynamics. It can be used, in particular, to study nonequilibrium transitions and other exotic transitions, where a simpler order parameter cann...
متن کاملFixed-energy sandpiles belong generically to directed percolation.
Fixed-energy sandpiles with stochastic update rules are known to exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active phase into infinitely many absorbing states. Examples include the conserved Manna model, the conserved lattice gas, and the conserved threshold transfer process. It is believed that the transitions in these models belong to an autonomous universality class of nonequilibrium ...
متن کاملPhase transitions with infinitely many absorbing states in complex networks.
We investigate the properties of the threshold contact process (TCP), a process showing an absorbing-state phase transition with infinitely many absorbing states, on random complex networks. The finite-size scaling exponents characterizing the transition are obtained in a heterogeneous mean-field (HMF) approximation and compared with extensive simulations, particularly in the case of heterogene...
متن کاملec 1 99 3 Critical behaviour of a surface reaction model with infinitely many absorbing states
In a recent letter [J. Phys. A 26, L801 (1993)], Yaldram et al studied the critical behaviour of a simple lattice gas model of the CO-NO catalytic reaction. The model exhibits a second order nonequilibrium phase transition from an active state into one out of infinitely many absorbing states. Estimates for the critical exponent β suggested that the model belongs to a new universality class. The...
