Dynamical exponents of an even-parity-conserving contact process with diffusion

We provide finite-size scaling estimates for the dynamical critical exponent of the even parity-conserving universality class of critical behavior through exact numerical diagonalizations of the time evolution operator of an even-parity-conserving contact process. Our data seem to indicate that upon the introduction of a small diffusion rate in the process its critical behavior crosses over to that of the directed percolation universality class. A brief discussion of the many-sector decomposability of parity-conserving contact processes is presented.

Critical values for a non-attractive lattice gas model

We investigate numerically the critical behaviour of a one-dimensional non-attractive lattice gas model that is the continuous-time version of the Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton in one of its parameter subspaces. The model shows a phase transition in the directed percolation universality class of critical behaviour, as expected.

Roughening Transition of a Restricted Solid-on-Solid Model in the Directed Percolation Universality Class

We carried out a finite-size scaling analysis of the restricted solid-on-solid version of a recently introduced growth model that exhibits a roughening transition accompanied by spontaneous symmetry breaking. The dynamic critical exponent of the model was calculated and found to be consistent with the universality class of the directed percolation process in a symmetry-broken phase with a crossover to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang behavior in a rough phase. The order parameter of the roughening transition together with the string order parameter was calculated, and we found that the flat, gapped phase is disordered with an antiferromagnetic spin-fluid structure of kinks, although strongly dominated by the completely flat configuration without kinks. A possible interesting extension of the model is mentioned.
