Correlation functions and critical behaviour on fluctuating geometries
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the two–point correlation function in the model of branched polymers and its relation to the critical behaviour of the model. We show that the correlation function has a universal scaling form in the generic phase with the only scale given by the size of the polymer. We show that the origin of the singularity of the free energy at the critical point is different from that in the standard statistical models. The transition is related to the change of the dimensionality of the system. The notion of correlation length is of a paramount importance in discrete field theoretical models. To define the continuum limit one requires correlation length to be infinite. This can be achieved by tuning the system to the continuous phase transition. Consider as an example a spin system. The correlation length can be defined by the behaviour of the connected correlation function :

Correlations in fluctuating geometries
Models of fluctuating(or random) geometries provide many challenging problems. One of them is the definition and interpretation of correlation functions. The usual formulation of the correlation function as a correlator of two observables in two fixed points at some distance apart is possible only if we have a fixed system of coordinates and a metric. This may be suitable for the perturbation t...
متن کاملCritical behaviour in parabolic geometries
We study two–dimensional systems with boundary curves described by power laws. Using conformal mappings we obtain the correlations at the bulk critical point. Three different classes of behaviour are found and explained by scaling arguments which also apply to higher dimensions. For an Ising system of parabolic shape the behaviour of the order at the tip is also found. The shape of a system und...
متن کاملCritical behaviour of a lattice model of the nematic to smectic-A transition
2014 The critical behaviour of a lattice version of the de Gennes model of the nematic to smectic-A transition is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. Several features observed in experiments are qualitatively reproduced in the simulations. The model exhibits a continuous phase transition with the specific heat exponent 03B1 close to zero. The order-parameter correlation functions show anisotrop...
متن کاملCorrosion Behaviour of Nickel Coated AISI 316 Stainless Steel as a Function of Annealing Temperature
AISI 316 stainless steels were coated with 250 nm Ni film by electron beam deposition and post-annealed at different temperatures with a nitrogen flow of 600 cm3min-1 nitrogen. The prepared samples were corrosion tested in 1.0 M sulphuric acid solution using potentiodynamic technique. Crystallographic and morphological structure of the samples were analyzedanalysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) an...
متن کاملBP-TP 06/99 Matter Correlations in Branched Polymers
We analyze correlation functions in a toy model of a random geometry interacting with matter. We show that in general the connected correlator will contain a long–range scaling part. This result supports the previously conjectured general form of correlation functions on random geometries. We discuss the interplay between matter and geometry and the role of the symmetry in the matter sector. In...
