Universality in the pair contact process with diffusion
arXiv:cond-mat/0302151 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.68.036113
Abstract
The pair contact process with diffusion is studied by means of multispin Monte Carlo simulations and density matrix renormalization group calculations. Effective critical exponents are found to behave nonmonotonically as functions of time or of system length and extrapolate asymptotically towards values consistent with the directed percolation universality class. We argue that an intermediate regime exists where the effective critical dynamics resembles that of a parity conserving process.
