Facilitated spin models in one dimension: a real-space renormalization group study
Abstract
We use a real-space renormalization group (RSRG) to study the low temperature dynamics of kinetically constrained Ising chains (KCICs). We consider the cases of the Fredrickson-Andersen (FA) model, the East model, and the partially asymmetric KCIC. We show that the RSRG allows one to obtain in a unified manner the dynamical properties of these models near their zero-temperature critical points. These properties include the dynamic exponent, the growth of dynamical lengthscales, and the behaviour of the excitation density near criticality. For the partially asymmetric chain the RG predicts a crossover, on sufficiently large length and time scales, from East-like to FA-like behaviour. Our results agree with the known results for KCICs obtained by other methods.Keywords
