Abstract

Hyperuniformity is an emergent property, whereby the structure factor of the density nn scales as S(q)qαS(q) \sim q^\alpha, with α>0\alpha>0. We show that for the conserved directed percolation (CDP) class, to which the Manna model belongs, there is an exact mapping between the density nn in CDP, and the interface position uu at depinning, n(x)=n0+2u(x)n(x)=n_0+\nabla^2 u(x), where n0n_0 is the conserved particle density. As a consequence, the hyperuniformity exponent equals α=4d2ζ\alpha={4-d-2\zeta}, with ζ\zeta the roughness exponent at depinning, and dd the dimension. In d=1d=1, α=1/2\alpha=1/2, while 0.6>α00.6> \alpha\ge0 for other dd. Our results fit well simulations in the literature, except in d=1d=1, where we perform our own to confirm this result. Such an exact relation between two seemingly different fields is surprising, and paves new paths to think about hyperuniformity and depinning. As corollaries, we get results of unprecedented precision in all dimensions, exact in d=1d=1. This corrects earlier work on hyperuniformity in CDP.
