We investigate some aspects of the ageing behavior observed in the contact process after a quench from its active phase to the critical point. In particular we discuss the scaling properties of the two-time response function and we…
Many materials quenched into their ordered phase undergo ageing and there show dynamical scaling. For any given dynamical exponent z, this can be extended to a new form of local scale-invariance which acts as a dynamical symmetry. The…
At time $t$ after an initial quench, an aging system responds to a perturbation turned on at time $ t_{\rm w} < t$ in a way mainly depending on the number of intermittent energy fluctuations, so-called quakes, which fall within the…
This review discusses a paradigm that has become of increasing importance in the theory of quantum phase transitions; namely, the coupling of the order-parameter fluctuations to other soft modes, and the resulting impossibility of…
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…
Building on an analogy with conformal invariance, local scale transformations consistent with dynamical scaling are constructed. Two types of local scale invariance are found which act as dynamical space-time symmetries of certain non-local…
Ageing phenomena are observed in a large variety of dynamical systems exhibiting a slow relaxation from a non-equilibrium initial state. Ageing can be characterised in terms of the linear response R(t,s) at time t to a local perturbation at…
