The irrelevance of detailed balance for the dynamical critical exponent

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We construct the most general real space renormalization for the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model on the triangular lattice which, to second order in the high-temperature expansion, conserves detailed balance and avoids fast transients for the cell spins. We show the corresponding dynamical recursion relations (as well as the exponentz) to be unaltered with respect to the ones found, in a previous paper, for a completely different class of transformations. This finding resolves long-standing confusions and controversies.
