In a variety of systems which exhibit aging, the two-time response function scales as $R(t,s)\approx s^{-1-a} f(t/s)$. We argue that dynamical scaling can be extended towards conformal invariance, obtaining thus the explicit form of the…
We study the phase-ordering kinetics following a quench to a final temperature $T_f$ of the one-dimensional p-state clock model. We show the existence of a critical value $p_c=4$, where the properties of the dynamics change. At $T_f=0$, for…
The classical Ising chain is the paradigm for the non-existence of phase transitions in 1D systems and was solved by Ernst Ising one hundred years ago. More recently, a decorated two leg Ising ladder has received interest for the curious…
