Composite operators of stochastic model A

By means of the field-theoretic renormalization group, we study the damping of the viscosity coefficient near the superfluid phase transition. We utilize the fact that in the infrared region, the complex model used to describe the phase transition belongs to the same universality class as the well-known stochastic model A. This allows us a determination of the critical behavior of viscosity using composite operators for model A. Our analysis is based on the $\varepsilon$-expansion near the upper critical dimension $d_c = 4$ of model A. The critical exponent of viscosity is then calculated from the critical dimensions of composite operators of massless two-component model A. In particular, we present results for critical dimensions of a selected class of composite operators with the canonical dimension $8$ to the leading order.

Model A of critical dynamics: 5-loop $\varepsilon$ expansion study

We have calculated the five-loop RG expansions of the $n$-component A model of critical dynamics in dimensions $d=4-\varepsilon$ within the Minimal Subtraction scheme. This is made possible by using the advanced diagram reduction method and the Sector Decomposition technique adapted to the problems of critical dynamics. The $\varepsilon$ expansions for the critical dynamic exponent $z$ for an arbitrary value of the order parameter dimension $n$ are derived. Based on these series, the numerical estimates of $z$ for different universality classes are extracted and compared with the results obtained within different theoretical and experimental methods.

The dynamic critical exponent $z$ for 2d and 3d Ising models from five-loop $ε$ expansion

We calculate the dynamic critical exponent $z$ for 2d and 3d Ising universality classes by means of minimally subtracted five-loop $\varepsilon$ expansion obtained for the one-component model A. This breakthrough turns out to be possible through the successful adaptation of the Sector Decomposition technique to the problems of critical dynamics. The obtained fifth perturbative order accompanied by the use of advanced resummation techniques for asymptotic series allows us to find highly accurate numerical estimates of $z$: for two- and three-dimensional cases we obtain $\boldsymbol{2.14(2)}$ and $\boldsymbol{2.0235(8)}$ respectively. The numbers found are in good agreement with recent results obtained using different approaches.

Passive advection of percolation process: Two-loop approximation

The paradigmatic model of the directed percolation process is studied near its second order phase transition between an absorbing and an active state. The model is first expressed in a form of Langevin equation and later rewritten into a field-theoretic formulation. The ensuing response functional is then analyzed employing Feynman diagrammatic technique and perturbative renormalization group method. Percolation process is assumed to occur in external velocity field, which has an additional effect on spreading properties. Kraichnan rapid change ensemble is used for generation of velocity fluctuations. The structure of the fixed points structure is obtained within the two-loop approximation.

Stochastic Navier-Stokes equation for a compressible fluid: two-loop approximation

A model of fully developed turbulence of a compressible fluid is briefly reviewed. It is assumed that fluid dynamics is governed by a stochastic version of Navier-Stokes equation. We show how corresponding field theoretic-model can be obtained and further analyzed by means of the perturbative renormalization group. Two fixed points of the RG equations are found. The perturbation theory is constructed within formal expansion scheme in parameter $y$, which describes scaling behavior of random force fluctuations. Actual calculations for fixed points' coordinates are performed to two-loop order.

Scaling behavior in interacting systems: joint effect of anisotropy and compressibility

Motivated by the ubiquity of turbulent flows in realistic conditions, effects of turbulent advection on two models of classical non-linear systems are investigated. In particular, we analyze model A (according to the Hohenberg-Halperin classification [1]) of a non-conserved order parameter and a model of the direct bond percolation process. Having two paradigmatic representatives of distinct stochastic dynamics, our aim is to elucidate to what extent velocity fluctuations affect their scaling behavior. The main emphasis is put on an interplay between anisotropy and compressibility of the velocity flow on their respective scaling regimes. Velocity fluctuations are generated by means of the Kraichnan rapid-change model, in which the anisotropy is due to a distinguished spatial direction n and a correlator of the velocity field obeys the Gaussian distribution law with prescribed statistical properties. As the main theoretical tool, the field-theoretic perturbative renormalization group is adopted. Actual calculations are performed in the leading (one-loop) approximation. Having obtained infra-red stable asymptotic regimes, we have found four possible candidates for macroscopically observable behavior for each model. In contrast to the isotropic case, anisotropy brings about enhancement of non-linearities and non-trivial regimes are proved to be more stable.

Renormalization group calculation of dynamic exponent in the models E and F with hydrodynamic fluctuations

The renormalization group method is applied in order to analyze models E and F of critical dynamics in the presence of velocity fluctuations generated by the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation. Results are given to the one-loop approximation for the anomalous dimension $γ_λ$ and fixed-points' structure. The dynamic exponent $z$ is calculated in the turbulent regime and stability of the fixed points for the standard model E is discussed.

Finite difference method together with the linear approximation of the unknown function is considered. For divergent integrals presented in the equation for dimension $d=2$ a regularization is used. Some numerical results are presented.

Numerical calculation of scaling exponents of percolation process in the framework of renormalization group approach

We use the renormalization group theory to study the directed bond percolation (Gribov process) near its second-order phase transition between absorbing and active state. We present a numerical calculation of the renormalization group functions in the $ε$-expansion where $ε$ is a deviation from the upper critical dimension $d_c = 4$. Within this procedure anomalous dimensions $γ$ are expressed in terms of irreducible renormalized Feynman diagrams and thus the calculation of renormalization constants could be entirely skipped. The renormalization group is included by means of the $R$ operation, and for computational purposes we choose the null momentum subtraction scheme.

Directed percolation process in the presence of velocity fluctuations: Effect of compressibility and finite correlation time

The direct bond percolation process (Gribov process) is studied in the presence of random velocity fluctuations generated by the Gaussian self-similar ensemble with finite correlation time. We employ the renormalization group in order to analyze a combined effect of the compressibility and finite correlation time on the long-time behavior of the phase transition between an active and an absorbing state. The renormalization procedure is performed to the one-loop order. Stable fixed points of the renormalization group and their regions of stability are calculated in the one-loop approximation within the three-parameter $(\eps,y,η)$-expansion. Different regimes corresponding to the rapid-change limit and frozen velocity field are discussed, and their fixed points' structure is determined in numerical fashion.

Directed Percolation Process Advected by Compressible Velocity Field

The directed percolation process in the vicinity of non-equilibrium phase transition is studied by the means of field theoretic methods. It will be assumed that percolation takes place in a compressible environment, which will be generated by the modified Kraichnan model. We will discuss differ- ences with the incompressible case and describe how the given model can be renormalized. The renormalization constants will be given to the one-loop order.

Superfluid Phase Transition with Activated Velocity Fluctuations: Renormalization Group Approach

A quantum field model that incorporates Bose-condensed systems near their phase transition into a superfluid phase and velocity fluctuations is proposed. The stochastic Navier-Stokes equation is used for a generation of the velocity fluctuations. As such this model generalizes model F of critical dynamics. The field-theoretic action is derived using the Martin-Siggia-Rose formalism and path integral approach. The regime of equilibrium fluctuations is analyzed within perturbative renormal- ization group method. The double $(ε,δ)$-expansion scheme is employed, where is a deviation from space dimension $4$ and $δ$ describes scaling of velocity fluctuations. The renormalization procedure is performed to the leading order. The main corollary gained from the analysis of the thermal equilibrium regime suggests that one-loop calculations of the presented models are not sufficient to make a definite conclusion about the stability of fixed points. We also show that critical exponents are drastically changed as a result of the turbulent background and critical fluctuations are in fact destroyed by the developed turbulence fluctuations. The scaling exponent of effective viscosity is calculated and agrees with expected value $4/3$.

Critical Behavior of Percolation Process Influenced by Random Velocity Field: One-Loop Approximation

Using perturbative renormalization group we investigate the influence of random velocity field on the critical behavior of directed bond percolation process near its second-order phase transition between absorbing and active phase. Antonov-Kraichnan model with finite correlation time is used for description of advecting velocity field. The field-theoretic renormalization group approach is applied for getting information about asymptotic large scale behavior of the model under consideration. The model is analyzed near its critical dimension through three-parameter expansion in ε, δ, η, where ε is the deviation from the Kolmogorov scaling, δ is the deviation from the critical space dimension {d_c} and η is the deviation from the parabolic dispersion law for the velocity correlator. Fixed points with corresponding regions of stability are determined to the leading order in the perturbation scheme.

Critical Behaviour Of Directed Percolation In The Presence Of Synthetic Velocity Field

Using perturbative renormalization group we study the influence of random velocity field on the critical behaviour of directed bond percolation process near its second-order phase transition between absorbing and active phase. We consider Kraichnan model with finite correlation time for modelling advecting velocity field. Using functional integral representation we are able to apply field-theoretic renormalization group to determine possible universality classes. The model is analyzed near its critical dimension by means of three-parameter expansion in $ε,δ,η$, where $ε$ is the deviation from the Kolmogorov scaling, $δ$ the deviation from the critical space dimension $d_c$ and $η$ is the deviation from the parabolic dispersion law for the velocity correlator. Fixed points with corresponding regions of stability are evaluated to the leading order in the perturbation scheme.

Influence of helicity on anomalous scaling of a passive scalar advected by the turbulent velocity field with finite correlation time: Two-loop approximation

The influence of helicity on the stability of scaling regimes, on the effective diffusivity, and on the anomalous scaling of structure functions of a passive scalar advected by a Gaussian solenoidal velocity field with finite correlation time is investigated by the field theoretic renormalization group and operator product expansion within two-loop approximation. The influence of helicity on the scaling regimes is discussed and shown in the plane of exponents $ε-η$, where $ε$ characterizes the energy spectrum of the velocity field in the inertial range $E\propto k^{1-2ε}$, and $η$ is related to the correlation time at the wave number $k$ which is scaled as $k^{-2+η}$. The restrictions given by nonzero helicity on the regions with stable fixed points which correspond to the scaling regimes are analyzed in detail. The dependence of the effective diffusivity on the helicity parameter is discussed. The anomalous exponents of the structure functions of the passive scalar field which define their anomalous scaling are calculated and it is shown that although the separate composite operators which define them strongly depend on the helicity parameter the resulting two-loop contributions to the critical dimensions of the structure functions are independent of helicity. Details of calculations are shown.

Stochastic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in space dimensions $d\ge 2$

Interplay of kinematic and magnetic forcing in a model of a conducting fluid with randomly driven magnetohydrodynamic equations has been studied in space dimensions $d\ge 2$ by means of the renormalization group. A perturbative expansion scheme, parameters of which are the deviation of the spatial dimension from two and the deviation of the exponent of the powerlike correlation function of random forcing from its critical value, has been used in one-loop approximation. Additional divergences have been taken into account which arise at two dimensions and have been inconsistently treated in earlier investigations of the model. It is shown that in spite of the additional divergences the kinetic fixed point associated with the Kolmogorov scaling regime remains stable for all space dimensions $d\ge 2$ for rapidly enough falling off correlations of the magnetic forcing. A scaling regime driven by thermal fluctuations of the velocity field has been identified and analyzed. The absence of a scaling regime near two dimensions driven by the fluctuations of the magnetic field has been confirmed. A new renormalization scheme has been put forward and numerically investigated to interpolate between the $ε$ expansion and the double expansion.

Anomalous scaling of a passive scalar in the presence of strong anisotropy

Field theoretic renormalization group and the operator product expansion are applied to a model of a passive scalar field, advected by the Gaussian strongly anisotropic velocity field. Inertial-range anomalous scaling behavior is established, and explicit asymptotic expressions for the n-th order structure functions of scalar field are obtained; they are represented by superpositions of power laws with nonuniversal (dependent on the anisotropy parameters) anomalous exponents. In the limit of vanishing anisotropy, the exponents are associated with tensor composite operators built of the scalar gradients, and exhibit a kind of hierarchy related to the degree of anisotropy: the less is the rank, the less is the dimension and, consequently, the more important is the contribution to the inertial-range behavior. The leading terms of the even (odd) structure functions are given by the scalar (vector) operators. For the finite anisotropy, the exponents cannot be associated with individual operators (which are essentially ``mixed'' in renormalization), but the aforementioned hierarchy survives for all the cases studied. The second-order structure function is studied in more detail using the renormalization group and zero-mode techniques.
