Critical behaviour of directed branched polymers and the dynamics at the Yang-Lee edge singularity

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Relying on a field theoretic model due to Day and Lubensky we establish the one-to-one correspondence of the directed branched polymer problem ind dimensions to (relaxational) critical dynamics at the Yang-Lee edge ind−1 spatial dimensions; like their isotropic counterparts the directed polymer exponents Θ andv are uniquely determined by the static Yang-Lee exponent σ whereasv requires in addition the dynamic Yang-Lee exponentz. JoiningO2)-expansions about the upper critical dimensiond c =7 to exact results atd=1 and 2 by Padé-interpolations we obtain good agreement with series expansion data for low dimensions.
