Critical ageing correlators from Schrödinger-invariance

Abstract

For ageing systems, quenched onto a critical temperature $T=T_c$ such that the dominant noise comes from the thermal bath, with a non-conserved order-parameter and in addition with dynamical exponent $z=2$, the form of the two-time auto-correlator as well as the time-space form of the single-time correlator are derived from Schrödinger-invariance, generalised to non-equilibrium ageing. These findings reproduce the exact results in the $1D$ Glauber-Ising model at $T=0$ and the critical spherical model in $d>2$ dimensions.
