We introduce and analyze a model for the transport of particles or energy in extended lattice systems. The dynamics of the model acts on a discrete phase space at discrete times but has nonetheless some of the characteristic properties of…
We determine the characteristic length scale, $L(t)$, in phase ordering kinetics for both scalar and vector fields, with either short- or long-range interactions, and with or without conservation laws. We obtain $L(t)$ consistently by…
The basic features of the slow relaxation phenomenology arising in phase ordering processes are obtained analytically in the large $N$ model through the exact separation of the order parameter into the sum of thermal and condensation…
We study the phase diagram of a class of models in which a generalized cluster interaction can be quenched by Ising exchange interaction and external magnetic field. We characterize the various phases through winding numbers. They may be…
This work investigates the competition between dipole conservation, which imposes strong dynamical constraints and prevents the propagation of isolated spin excitations, and Ising-type interactions that favor ordering. Specifically, we…
We study the large-$r$ behavior of the bulk order-parameter correlation function $G(\bf{r})$ for $T>T_c$ within the lattice $\phi^4$ theory. We also study the large-$L$ behavior of the susceptibility $\chi$ of the confined lattice system of…
