Abstract

We derive a dynamic field theory for a kinetically constrained model, based on the Fredrickson-Andersen model, which we expect to describe the properties of an Arrhenius (strong) supercooled liquid at the coarse-grained level. We study this field theory using the renormalization group. For mesoscopic length and time scales, and for space dimension d⩾2, the behavior of the model is governed by a zero-temperature dynamical critical point in the directed percolation universality class. We argue that in d=1 its behavior is that of compact directed percolation. We perform detailed numerical simulations of the corresponding Fredrickson-Andersen model on the lattice in various dimensions, and find reasonable quantitative agreement with the field theory predictions.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
