Is there a fractional breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation in Kinetically Constrained Models at low temperature?
Abstract
We study the motion of a tracer particle injected in facilitated models which are used to model supercooled liquids in the vicinity of the glass transition. We consider the East model, FA1f model and a more general class of non-cooperative models. For East previous works had identified a fractional violation of the Stokes-Einstein relation with a decoupling between diffusion and viscosity of the form with . We present rigorous results proving that instead , which implies at leading order for very large time-scales. Our results do not exclude the possibility of SE breakdown, albeit non fractional. Indeed extended numerical simulations by other authors show the occurrence of this violation and our result suggests , where is the density of excitations. For FA1f we prove fractional Stokes Einstein in dimension , and in dimension and higher, confirming previous works. Our results extend to a larger class of non-cooperative models.
