Abstract
We study the time evolution of two configurations submitted to the same thermal noise for several two dimensional models (Ising ferromagnet, symmetric spin glass, non symmetric spin glass). For all these models, we find a non zero critical temperature above which the two configurations always meet. Using finite size scaling ideas, we determine for these three models this dynamical phase transition and some of the critical exponents. For the ferromagnet, the transition Tc ≃ 2.25 coincides with the Curie temperature whereas for the two spin glass models ( ± J distribution of bonds) we obtain Tc ≃ 1.5-1.7
