ABSTRACT

For the moment, let us assume that = Γ , independent

of k. We can write (11. 37) in terms of σ(χ, t):

= -Γ 2(a2a - c v 2o) + ζ ,

(11.38)

( ζ (x, t) ζ ( x 7, t ' ) ) = 2Γ δ (x — x 7 ) δ (t - t 7 ) .

As before, it is understood that σ(χ, t) contains only

Fourier components with k < A. Equation (11.38) exp lic it-

ly describes the dynamics over a region of size A * . It is

a 1'loca l11 equation of motion, in the same spirit as model

(5) discussed in Chapter II. It should be kept in mind that

our purpose here is to derive cr it ica l dynamics, which con-

cerns large-sca le behaviors, from local equations of

motion, which are based on dynamics over a much sm aller

scale. The phenomenological constant Γ and the random

field ζ are supposed to simulate the effect of dynamical

processes over a scale A ^ . Therefore, Γ is expected

to be a smooth function of temperature and can be con-

sidered to be a constant within a small temperature range

near T^ . This is the same argument as that in Chapter II

leading to the conclusion that parameters in the block

Hamiltonian are smooth functions of T.
