Dynamical scaling and kinetic roughening of single valued fronts propagating in fractal media

We consider the dynamical scaling and kinetic roughening of single-valued interfaces propagating in 2D fractal media. Assuming that the nearest-neighbor height difference distribution function of the fronts obeys Lévy statistics with a well-defined algebraic decay exponent, we consider the generalized scaling forms and derive analytic expressions for the local scaling exponents. We show that the kinetic roughening of the interfaces displays intrinsic anomalous scaling and multiscaling in the relevant correlation functions. We test the predictions of the scaling theory with a variety of well-known models which produce fractal growth structures. Results are in excellent agreement with theory. For some models, we find interesting crossover behavior related to large-scale structural instabilities of the growing aggregates. Received 22 May 2002 Published online 19 November 2002

Lagrangian statistical theory of fully developed hydrodynamical turbulence

The Lagrangian velocity structure functions in the inertial range of fully developed fluid turbulence are for the first time derived based on the Navier-Stokes equation. For time tau much smaller than the correlation time, the structure functions are shown to obey the scaling relations K_{n}(tau) proportional, varianttau;{zeta_{n}}. The scaling exponents zeta_{n} are calculated analytically without any fitting parameters. The obtained values are in amazing agreement with the experimental results of the Bodenschatz group. A new relation connecting the Lagrangian structure functions of different orders analogously to the extended self-similarity ansatz is found.     

Field theoretic approach to unstable critical dynamics: Initial stage renormalization

The formalism of initial stage renormalization is constructed and used to study the spinodal decomposition of time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau models. Scaling relations of correlation functions are derived and new critical exponents describing the effects of initial order parameters and external fields are identified. At early stages, the structure function satisfies the usual dynamic scaling ansatz and exponents for characteristic length scales are nothing but the inverse of the dynamic critical exponent. Critical exponents and the structure function are calculated explicitly to first order in ϵ=d_c−d.

Domain growth and finite-size-scaling in the kinetic Ising model

This paper describes the application of finite-size scaling concepts to domain growth in systems with a non-conserved order parameter. A finite-size-scaling ansatz for the time-dependent order parameter distribution function is proposed, and tested with extensive Monte-Carlo simulations of domain growth in the 2-D spin-flip kinetic Ising model. The scaling properties of the distribution functions serve to elucidate the configurational self-similarity that underlies the dynamic scaling picture. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the application of finite-size-scaling techniques facilitates the accurate determination of the bulk growth exponent even in the presence of strong finite-size effects, the scale and character of which are graphically exposed by the order parameter distribution function. In addition it is found that one commonly used measure of domain size-the scaled second moment of the magnetisation distribution-belies the full extent of these finite-size effects.     

Anomalous dynamic scaling of the non-local growth equations

The anomalous dynamic scaling behavior of the d+1 dimensional non-local growth equations is investigated based on the scaling approach. The growth equations studied include the non-local Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (NKPZ), non-local Sun-Guo-Grant (NSGG), and non-local Lai-Das Sarma-Villain (NLDV) equations. The anomalous scaling exponents in both the weak- and strong-coupling regions are obtained, respectively. Our results show that non-local interactions can affect anomalous scaling properties of surface fluctuations.     

Statistical Physics of Fracture Surfaces Morphology

Experiments on fracture surface morphologies offer increasing amounts of data that can be analyzed using methods of statistical physics. One finds scaling exponents associated with correlation and structure functions, indicating a rich phenomenology of anomalous scaling. We argue that traditional models of fracture fail to reproduce this rich phenomenology and new ideas and concepts are called for. We present some recent models that introduce the effects of deviations from homogeneous linear elasticity theory on the morphology of fracture surfaces, successfully reproducing the multiscaling phenomenology at least in 1+1 dimensions. For surfaces in 2+1 dimensions we introduce novel methods of analysis based on projecting the data on the irreducible representations of the SO(2) symmetry group. It appears that this approach organizes effectively the rich scaling properties. We end up proposing new experiments in which the rotational symmetry is not broken, such that the scaling properties should be particularly simple.

Evidence for the anomalous scaling behaviour of the molecular-beam epitaxy growth equation

According to the scaling idea of local slope, we investigate numerically and analytically anomalous dynamic scaling behaviour of (1+1)-dimensional growth equation for molecular-beam epitaxy. The growth model includes the linear molecular-beam epitaxy (LMBE) and the nonlinear Lai--Das Sarma--Villain (LDV) equations. The anomalous scaling exponents in both the LMBE and the LDV equations are obtained, respectively. Numerical results are consistent with the corresponding analytical predictions.     

On the scaling of three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence

In this paper we investigate the scaling properties of three-dimensional isotropic and homogeneous turbulence. We analyze a new form of scaling (extended self-similarity) recently introduced in the literature. We found that anomalous scaling of the velocity structure functions is clearly detectable even at a moderate and low Reynolds number and it extends over a much wider range of scales with respect to the inertial range.     

Dynamic criticality in glass-forming liquids

We propose that the dynamics of supercooled liquids and the formation of glasses can be understood from the existence of a zero-temperature dynamical critical point. To support our proposal, we derive a dynamic field theory for a generic kinetically constrained model, which we expect to describe the dynamics of a supercooled liquid. We study this field theory using the renormalization group (RG). Its long time behavior is dominated by a zero-temperature critical point, which for d>2 belongs to the directed percolation universality class. Molecular dynamics simulations seem to confirm the existence of dynamic scaling behavior consistent with the RG predictions.     

Exact solution of the Gaudin model with Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin–Wohlman–Aharony interactions

We study the exact solution of the Gaudin model with Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin–Wohlman–Aharony interactions. The energy and Bethe ansatz equations of the Gaudin model can be obtained via the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method. Based on the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz solutions, we construct the Bethe states of the inhomogeneous X X X Heisenberg spin chain with the generic open boundaries. By taking a quasi-classical limit, we give explicit closed-form expression of the Bethe states of the Gaudin model. From the numerical simulations for the small-size system, it is shown that some Bethe roots go to infinity when the Gaudin model recovers the U(1) symmetry. Furthermore,it is found that the contribution of those Bethe roots to the Bethe states is a nonzero constant. This fact enables us to recover the Bethe states of the Gaudin model with the U(1) symmetry. These results provide a basis for the further study of the thermodynamic limit, correlation functions, and quantum dynamics of the Gaudin model.     

Anomalous Scaling of Surface Growth Equations with Spatially and Temporally Correlated Noise

Based on the scaling idea of local slopes by López et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005) 166103], we investigate anomalous dynamic scaling of (d+1)-dimensional surface growth equations with spatially and temporally correlated noise. The growth equations studied include the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ), Sun-Guo-Grant (SGG), and Lai-Das Sarma-Villain (LDV) equations. The anomalous scaling exponents in both the weak- and strong-coupling regions are obtained, respectively.     

Corrections to scaling for diffusion exponents on three-dimensional percolation systems at criticality

Recent results of Monte Carlo simulations of the ant-in-the-labyrinth method in three-dimensional percolation lattices are reanalyzed in the light of more accurate corrections to scaling ansatz, motivated by inconsistent results that have appeared in the literature. The results are observed to be sensitive to the form of the scaling correction terms. Using a single correction term, we estimate the valuek=0.197±0.004 for the anomalous diffusion exponent at criticality. When two correction terms are included,k=0.200±0.002 is obtained. These new estimates are consistent with known theoretical bounds, with recent series expansion results, and with numerical calculations of the conductance of random resistor networks above criticality.     

Renormalized field theory of critical dynamics

We formulate a Gell'Mann-Low-type renormalization group approach to the critical dynamics of stochastic models described by Langevin or Fokker-Planck equations including mode-coupling terms.Dynamical correlation and response functions are expressed in terms of path integrals, which are investigated by well-known methods of renormalized perturbation theory.Dynamical scaling laws and relations between static and dynamic critical exponents are derived. The leading temperature-dependence of correlation and response functions is obtained from the Kadanoff-Wilson short-distance expansion. We also consider corrections to dynamic scaling which are due to a finite lattice constant.     

Statistical-thermodynamic approach to a chaotic dynamical system: Exactly solvable examples

The static and dynamic properties of a chaotic attractor of a two-dimensional map are studied, which belongs to a particular class of piecewise continuous invertible maps. Coverings of a natural size to cover the attractor are introduced, so that the microscopic information of the attractor is written on each box composing the cover. The statistical thermodynamics of the scaling indices and the size indices of the boxes is formulated. Analytic forms of the free energy functions of the scaling indices and the size indices of the boxes are obtained for examples of a hyperbolic and a nonhyperbolic chaotic attractor. The statistical thermodynamics of local Lyapunov exponents is also studied and a relation between the thermodynamics of scaling indices and of local Lyapunov exponents is invetigated. For the nonhyperbolic example, the free energy and entropy functions of local Lyapunov exponents are obtained in analytic forms. These results display the existence of phase transitions. A phase transition is seen in the thermodynamics of scaling indices also.

On some boundary value problems on a strip in the complex plane

The Sommerfeld integral inversion method for the Helmholtz equation in an angular region with different boundary values leads to boundary value problems in an infinite strip of the complex plane. We investigate a generic system for such boundary value problems and give the existence and uniqueness results with optimal growth estimates on the solution. We also give the solutions of the Dirichlet problem in a strip when the boundary functions grow exponentially.
