The Pair Contact Process in Two Dimensions

Abstract

We study the stationary properties of the two-dimensional pair contact process, a nonequilibrium lattice model exhibiting a phase transition to an absorbing state with an infinite number of configurations. The critical probability and static critical exponents are determined via Monte Carlo simulations, as well as order-parameter moment ratios and the scaling of the initial density decay. The static critical properties are consistent with the directed percolation universality class.
