Conserved mass aggregation model with mass-dependent fragmentation

Abstract

We study a conserved mass aggregation model with mass-dependent fragmentation in one dimension. In the model, the whole mass mm of a site isotropically diffuse with unit rate. With rate ω\omega, a mass mλm^{\lambda} is fragmented from the site and moves to a randomly selected nearest neighbor site. Since the fragmented mass is smaller than the whole mass mm of a site for λ<1\lambda < 1, the on-site attractive interaction exists for the case. For λ=0\lambda = 0, the model is known to undergo the condensation phase transitions from a fluid phase into a condensed phase as the density of total masses (ρ\rho) increases beyond a critical density ρc\rho_c. For 0<λ<10< \lambda <1, we numerically confirm for several values of ω\omega that ρc\rho_c diverges with the system size LL. Hence in thermodynamic limit, the condensed phase disappears and no transitions take place in one dimension. We also explain that there are no transitions in any dimensions.
