Dynamic critical behavior in superfluid systems is considered in a presence of external stirring and advecting processes. The latter are generated by means of the Gaussian random velocity ensemble with white-noise character in time variable and self-similar spatial dependence. The main focus of this work is to analyze an effect of compressible modes on the critical behavior. The model is formulated through stochastic Langevin equations, which are then recast into Janssen-De Dominicis response formalism. Employing the field-theoretic perturbative renormalization group method we analyze large-scale properties of the model. Explicit calculations are performed to the leading one-loop approximation in the double $(\varepsilon, y)$ expansion scheme, where $\varepsilon$ is a deviation from the upper critical dimension $d_c = 4$ and $y$ describes a scaling properties of the velocity ensemble. Altogether five distinct universality classes are expected to be macroscopically observable. In contrast to the incompressible case, we found that compressibility leads to an enhancement and stabilization of non-trivial asymptotic regimes.
The direct bond percolation process (Gribov process) is studied in the presence of random velocity fluctuations generated by the Gaussian self-similar ensemble with finite correlation time. We employ the renormalization group in order to analyze a combined effect of the compressibility and finite correlation time on the long-time behavior of the phase transition between an active and an absorbing state. The renormalization procedure is performed to the one-loop order. Stable fixed points of the renormalization group and their regions of stability are calculated in the one-loop approximation wi…
Anomalous scaling of passive scalar fields advected by the Navier-Stokes velocity ensemble: Effects of strong compressibility and large-scale anisotropy
A quantum field model that incorporates Bose-condensed systems near their phase transition into a superfluid phase and velocity fluctuations is proposed. The stochastic Navier-Stokes equation is used for a generation of the velocity fluctuations. As such this model generalizes model F of critical dynamics. The field-theoretic action is derived using the Martin-Siggia-Rose formalism and path integral approach. The regime of equilibrium fluctuations is analyzed within perturbative renormal- ization group method. The double $(ε,δ)$-expansion scheme is employed, where is a deviation from space dim…
The field theoretic renormalization group and the operator product expansion are applied to the stochastic model of a passively advected vector field. The advecting velocity field is generated by the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with compressibility taken into account. The model is considered in the vicinity of space dimension $d=4$ and the perturbation theory is constructed within a double expansion scheme in $y$ and $ε=4-d$, where $y$ describes scaling behaviour of the random force that enters a stochastic equation for the velocity field. We show that the correlation functions of the pa…
Vortex Fluctuations in the Critical Casimir Effect of Superfluid and Superconducting Films
用涡环重整化方法计算了超流膜中临界Casimir力的大小。当热涡环的大小与薄膜厚度相当时,力变得明显,并且T Tc的结果< Tc are found to match very well with perturbative renormalization theories that have only been carried out for T >。当施加到连接到大块样品的高Tc超导膜时,卡西米尔力导致膜和大块之间出现电压差,估计表明这可能是容易测量的。
Universal behavior is a typical emergent feature of critical systems. A paramount model of the non-equilibrium critical behavior is the directed bond percolation process that exhibits an active- to-absorbing state phase transition in the vicinity of a percolation threshold. Fluctuations of the ambient environment might affect or destroy the universality properties completely. In this work we assume that the random environment can be described by means of compressible velocity fluctu- ations. Using field-theoretic models and renormalization group methods we investigate large-scale and long-time…
Motivated by the ubiquity of turbulent flows in realistic conditions, effects of turbulent advection on two models of classical non-linear systems are investigated. In particular, we analyze model A (according to the Hohenberg-Halperin classification [1]) of a non-conserved order parameter and a model of the direct bond percolation process. Having two paradigmatic representatives of distinct stochastic dynamics, our aim is to elucidate to what extent velocity fluctuations affect their scaling behavior. The main emphasis is put on an interplay between anisotropy and compressibility of the veloc…
We present an asymptotically exact renormalization-group theory of the superfluid--insulator transition in one-dimensional disordered systems, with emphasis on an accurate description of the interplay between the Giamarchi--Schulz (instanton--anti-instanton) and weak-link (scratched-XY) criticalities. Combining the theory with extensive quantum Monte Carlo simulations allows us to shed new light on the ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional disordered Bose-Hubbard model at unit filling.
The domain-area distribution in the phase transition dynamics of ${\rm Z}_2$ symmetry breaking is studied theoretically and numerically for segregating binary Bose--Einstein condensates in quasi-two-dimensional systems. Due to the dynamic scaling law of the phase ordering kinetics, the domain-area distribution is described by a universal function of the domain area, rescaled by the mean distance between domain walls. The scaling theory for general coarsening dynamics in two dimensions hypothesizes that the distribution during the coarsening dynamics has a hierarchy with the two scaling regimes…
