Nonequilibrium Criticality at Shock Formation in Steady States

arXiv:cond-mat/0408563 · doi:10.1088/0305-4470/38/17/L02

Abstract

The steady state shock formation in processes like nonconserving asymmetric simple exclusion processes in varied situations is shown to be a nonequilibrium critical phenomenon. The diverging length scales and the quantitative description of the transition including the phase boundary are obtained from a few general properties of the dynamics without relying on specific details.
