Comportamento crítico em um modelo de caminhantes aleatórios em processos com conservação da paridade, ramificação, aniquilação e múltipla ocupação.

Abstract

In this dissertation we address the problem of second order phase transitions with absorbing states. We analyze the critical behavior of a one dimensional model simulated on one dimensional chains. The sites on the linear chain can be multiple occupied by particles that annhilates each other with a finite probability. It also presents parity-conserving branching with an even number of offsprings. The number of particles are constant modulo 2. We determine the threshold of the phase transition between the statistically stationary active state and the absorbing state. From steady-state simulations and a finite-size scaling analysis, we calculate the order-parameter, order-parameter fluctuations, and special correlation length critical exponents. We also followed the short-time critical relaxation to determine some dynamical critical exponents. The hyperscaling relation is checked for both sets of stationary and dynamical critical exponents which we found to be consistent with the BARW-PC universality class.
