Phase-ordering kinetics: ageing and local scale-invariance

Abstract

Dynamical scaling in ageing systems, notably in phase-ordering kinetics, is well-established. New evidence in favour of Galilei-invariance in phase-ordering kinetics is reviewed.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure,with AIP macros, based on invited talks given at the 8th Granada Seminar on Computational and Statistical Physics (7-11 February 2005) and at the Symposium `Renormalization and Scaling' at Berlin (5th of March 2005
