Scaling properties in off equilibrium dynamical processes

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

In the present paper, we analyze the consequences of scaling hypotheses on dynamic functions, as two times correlations C(t,t)C(t,t'). We show, under general conditions, that C(t,t)C(t,t') must obey the following scaling behavior C(t,t)=ϕ1(t)f(β)S(β)C(t,t') = \phi_1(t)^{f(\beta)}{\cal{S}}(\beta), where the scaling variable is β=β(ϕ1(t)/ϕ1(t))\beta=\beta(\phi_1(t')/\phi_1(t)) and ϕ1(t)\phi_1(t'), ϕ1(t)\phi_1(t) two undetermined functions. The presence of a non constant exponent f(β)f(\beta) signals the appearance of multiscaling properties in the dynamics.
