چکیده

We introduce a reversible Markovian coagulation-fragmentation process on the set of partitions of {1, . . . , L} into disjoint intervals. Each interval can either split or merge with one of its two neighbors. The invariant measure can be seen as the Gibbs measure for a homogeneous pinning model [9]. Depending on a parameter λ, the typical configuration can be either dominated by a single big interval (delocalized phase), or be composed of many intervals of order 1 (localized phase), or the interval length can have a power law distribution (critical regime). In the three cases, the time required to approach equilibrium (in total variation) scales very differently with L. In the localized phase, when the initial condition is a single interval of size L, the equilibration mechanism is due to the propagation of two “fragmentation fronts” which start from the two boundaries and proceed by power-law jumps.

Phase transition of the one-dimensional coagulation-production process.

Recently an exact solution has been found by M. Henkel and H. Hinrichsen [J. Phys. A 34, 1561 (2001)] for the one-dimensional coagulation-production process: 2A-->A, AØA-->3A with equal diffusion and coagulation rates. This model evolves into the inactive phase independently of the production rate with t(-1/2) density decay law. This paper shows that cluster mean-field approximations and Monte ...

Nonequilibrium Phase Transition in a Model of Diffusion, Aggregation, and Fragmentation

We study the nonequilibrium phase transition in a model of aggregation of masses allowing for diffusion, aggregation on contact, and fragmentation. The model undergoes a dynamical phase transition in all dimensions. The steadystate mass distribution decays exponentially for large mass in one phase. In the other phase, the mass distribution decays as a power law accompanied, in addition, by the ...

Static- and Dynamical-Phase Transition in One-Dimensional Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Boundaries

A general system of particles (of one or several species) on a one dimensional lattice with boundaries is considered. Two general behaviors of such systems are investigated. The stationary behavior of the system, and the dominant way of the relaxation of the system toward its stationary system. Bases on the first behavior, static phase transitions (discontinuous changes in the stationary profil...

ساختار فاز میدانهای پیمانه‌ای شبکه‌ای دو بعدی U(N) با کنش مختلط

  We study the phase structure of two dimensional pure lattice gauge theory with a Chern term. The symmetry groups are non-Abelian, finite and disconnected sub-groups of SU(3). Since the action is imaginary it introduces a rich phase structure compared to the originally trivial two dimensional pure gauge theory. The Z3 group is the center of these groups and the result shows that if we use one ...

EFFECT OF THE NEXT-NEAREST NEIGHBOR INTERACTION ON THE ORDER-DISORDER PHASE TRANSITION

In this work, one and two-dimensional lattices are studied theoretically by a statistical mechanical approach. The nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions are both taken into account, and the approximate thermodynamic properties of the lattices are calculated. The results of our calculations show that: (1) even though the next-nearest neighbor interaction may have an insignificant ef...
