Renormalized field theory of dynamical percolation

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The stochastic processes recently introduced by Grassberger and Cardy are shown to belong to the same universality class as dynamic percolation. To first order in ε=6−d, whered is the spatial dimensionality, known critical exponents of random percolation are rederived and the new dynamic exponent z=2−1/6ε+0(ε2) is calculated by use of the field-theoretic renormalization group method. The relation of the statistics of big clusters (animals) to the Yang-Lee edge singularity in random fields is presented.
