Critical dynamics near a hard mode instability

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Scaling hypothesis and a renormalization group procedure are formulated in the vicinity of the bifurcation point, where the behaviour is governed by inhomogeneous fluctuations. The working of the general ideas is illustrated in a model system in which the number of components of the complex order parameter field goes to infinity.
