Critical dynamics of diluted relaxational models coupled to a conserved density (diluted model C)

We consider the influence of quenched disorder on the relaxational critical dynamics of a system characterized by a non-conserved order parameter coupled to the diffusive dynamics of a conserved scalar density (model C). Disorder leads to model A critical dynamics in the asymptotics, however it is the effective critical behavior which is often observed in experiments and in computer simulations and this is described by the full set of dynamical equations of diluted model C. Indeed different scenarios of effective critical behavior are predicted.

Critical properties of random anisotropy magnets

The problem of critical behaviour of three dimensional random anisotropy magnets, which constitute a wide class of disordered magnets is considered. Previous results obtained in experiments, by Monte Carlo simulations and within different theoretical approaches give evidence for a second order phase transition for anisotropic distributions of the local anisotropy axes, while for the case of isotropic distribution such transition is absent. This outcome is described by renormalization group in its field theoretical variant on the basis of the random anisotropy model. Considerable attention is paid to the investigation of the effective critical behaviour which explains the observation of different behaviour in the same universality class.

Universality classes of three-dimensional $mn$-vector model

We study the conditions under which the critical behavior of the three-dimensional $mn$-vector model does not belong to the spherically symmetrical universality class. In the calculations we rely on the field-theoretical renormalization group approach in different regularization schemes adjusted by resummation and extended analysis of the series for renormalization-group functions which are known for the model in high orders of perturbation theory. The phase diagram of the three-dimensional $mn$-vector model is built marking out domains in the $mn$-plane where the model belongs to a given universality class.

Weak quenched disorder and criticality: resummation of asymptotic(?) series

In these lectures, we discuss the influence of weak quenched disorder on the critical behavior in condensed matter and give a brief review of available experimental and theoretical results as well as results of MC simulations of these phenomena. We concentrate on three cases: (i) uncorrelated random-site disorder, (ii) long-range-correlated random-site disorder, and (iii) random anisotropy. Today, the standard analytical description of critical behavior is given by renormalization group results refined by resummation of the perturbation theory series. The convergence properties of the series are unknown for most disordered models. The main object of these lectures is to discuss the peculiarities of the application of resummation techniques to perturbation theory series of disordered models.

A Marginal Dimension of a Weakly Diluted Quenched m-Vector Model

We calculate a marginal order parameter dimension $m_c$ which in a weakly diluted quenched $m$-vector model controls the crossover from a universality class of a ``pure'' model ($m>m_c$) to a new universality class ($m<m_c$). Exploiting the Harris criterion and the field-theoretical renormalization group approach allows us to obtain $m_c$ as a five-loop $ε$-expansion as well as a six-loop pseudo-$ε$ expansion. In order to estimate the numerical value of $m_c$ we process the series by precisely adjusted Padé--Borel--Leroy resummation procedures. Our final result $m_c=1.912\pm0.004<2$ stems from the longer and more reliable pseudo-$ε$ expansion, suggesting that a weak quenched disorder does not change the values of $xy$-model critical exponents as it follows from the experiments on critical properties of ${\rm He}^4$ in porous media.

Phase Transition in the Random Anisotropy Model

The influence of a local anisotropy of random orientation on a ferromagnetic phase transition is studied for two cases of anisotropy axis distribution. To this end a model of a random anisotropy magnet is analyzed by means of the field theoretical renormalization group approach in two loop approximation refined by a resummation of the asymptotic series. The one-loop result of Aharony indicating the absence of a second-order phase transition for an isotropic distribution of random anisotropy axis at space dimension $d<4$ is corroborated. For a cubic distribution the accessible stable fixed point leads to disordered Ising-like critical exponents.
