Dynamical Multiscaling in Quenched Skyrme Systems

Abstract

Strong dynamical scaling violations exist in quenched two-dimensional systems with vector O(3) order parameters. These systems support non-singular topologically stable configurations (skyrmions). By tuning the stability of isolated skyrmions to expand or shrink, we find dramatic differences in the dynamical multiscaling spectrum of decaying moments $<|\rho {|}^n>$ of the topological charge density distribution and in particular in the decay of the energy-density $\epsilon \sim <|\rho |>$. We present a simple two-length-scale model for the observed exponents in the case when isolated skyrmions expand. No such simple model is found when isolated skyrmions shrink.
