Kinetics of the long-range spherical model
The kinetic spherical model with long-range interactions is studied after a
quench to or to . For the two-time response and correlation
functions of the order-parameter as well as for composite fields such as the
energy density, the ageing exponents and the corresponding scaling functions
are derived. The results are compared to the predictions which follow from
local scale-invariance.Comment: added "fluctuation-dissipation ratios"; fixed typo
Ageing in disordered magnets and local scale-invariance
The ageing of the bond-disordered two-dimensional Ising model quenched to
below its critical point is studied through the two-time autocorrelator and
thermoremanent magnetization (TRM). The corresponding ageing exponents are
determined. The form of the scaling function of the TRM is well described by
the theory of local scale-invariance.Comment: Latex2e, with epl macros, 7 pages, final for
Ageing, dynamical scaling and its extensions in many-particle systems without detailed balance
Recent studies on the phenomenology of ageing in certain many-particle
systems which are at a critical point of their non-equilibrium steady-states,
are reviewed. Examples include the contact process, the parity-conserving
branching-annihilating random walk, two exactly solvable particle-reaction
models and kinetic growth models. While the generic scaling descriptions known
from magnetic system can be taken over, some of the scaling relations between
the ageing exponents are no longer valid. In particular, there is no obvious
generalization of the universal limit fluctuation-dissipation ratio. The form
of the scaling function of the two-time response function is compared with the
prediction of the theory of local scale-invariance.Comment: Latex2e with IOP macros, 32 pages; extended discussion on contact

The Boundary Conformal Field Theories of the 2D Ising critical points
We present a new method to identify the Boundary Conformal Field Theories
(BCFTs) describing the critical points of the Ising model on the strip. It
consists in measuring the low-lying excitation energies spectra of its quantum
spin chain for different boundary conditions and then to compare them with
those of the different boundary conformal field theories of the
minimal model.Comment: 7 pages, no figures. Talk given at the XXth International Conference
