Title: Spatiotemporal generalization of the Harris criterion and its application to diffusive disorder
Authors: Thomas Vojta
Ronald Dickman
Abstract: We investigate how a clean continuous phase transition is affected by spatiotemporal disorder, i.e., by an external perturbation that fluctuates in both space and time. We derive a generalization of the Harris criterionfor the stability of the clean critical behavior in terms of the space-time correlation function of the external perturbation. As an application, we consider diffusive disorder, i.e., an external perturbation governed by diffusive dynamics, and its effects on a variety of equilibrium and nonequilibrium critical points. We also discuss the relation between diffusive disorder and diffusive dynamical degrees of freedom in the example of model C of the Hohenberg-Halperin classification and comment on Griffiths singularities.
