Inverse Ising inference, hyperuniformity and absorbing states in the Manna model

Abstract

Using inverse Ising inference we show that the absorbing states of the one-dimensional Manna model can be described by an equilibrium model with an emergent interaction displaying short-ranged repulsion and long-ranged attraction. As the model approaches the critical point the interaction becomes purely repulsive, decaying as $r^{-\alpha }$ and we conjecture the exact value $\alpha =1/2$, suggesting density fluctuations decay as $r^{-3/2}$. We present a simple Gaussian field theory for the long distance behaviour of critical absorbing states and discuss implications for the Manna universality class.
