Dynamic critical properties of non-equilibrium Potts models with absorbing states

Statistical Mechanics 2019-06-18 v1

Abstract

We present extensive numerical simulations of a family of non-equilibrium Potts models with absorbing states that allows for a variety of scenarios, depending on the number of spin states and the range of the spin-spin interactions. These scenarios encompass a voter critical point, a discontinuous transition as well as the presence of both a symmetry-breaking phase transition and an absorbing phase transition. While we also investigate standard steady-state quantities, our emphasis is on time-dependent quantities that provide insights into the transient properties of the models.
