Effective equilibrium picture in $xy-$model with exponentially correlated noise

Abstract

We study the effect of exponentially correlated noise on xyxy-model in the limit of small correlation time discussing the order-disorder transition in mean-field and the topological transition in two dimensions. We map the steady states of the non-equilibrium dynamics into an effective equilibrium theory. In mean-field, the critical temperature increases with the noise correlation time τ\tau indicating that memory effects promote ordering. This finding is confirmed by numerical simulations. The topological transition temperature in two dimensions remains untouched. However, finite size effects induce a crossover in the vortices proliferation that is confirmed by numerical simulations.
