The pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) is studied with a standard Monte Carlo approach and with simulations at fixed densities. A standard analysis of the simulation results, based on the particle densities or on the pair densities, yields inconsistent estimates for the critical exponents. However, if a well-chosen linear combination of the particle and pair densities is used, leading corrections can be suppressed, and consistent estimates for the independent critical exponents delta=0.16(2), beta=0.28(2) and z=1.58 are obtained. Since these estimates are also consistent with their values in directed percolation (DP), we conclude that PCPD falls in the same universality class as DP.

The pair contact process (PCP) is a nonequilibrium stochastic model which, like the basic contact process (CP), exhibits a phase transition to an absorbing state. The two models belong to the directed percolation (DP) universality class, despite the fact that the PCP possesses infinitely many absorbing configurations whereas the CP has but one. The critical behavior of the PCP with hopping by particles (PCPD) is as yet unclear. Here we study a version of the PCP in which nearest-neighbor particle {it pairs} can hop but individual particles cannot. Using quasistationary simulations for three values of the diffusion probability ($D=0.1$, 0.5 and 0.9), we find convincing evidence of DP-like critical behavior.
We study the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) using Monte Carlo simulations, and concentrate on the decay of the particle density $rho$ with time, near its critical point, which is assumed to follow $rho(t) approx ct^{-delta} +c_2t^{-delta_ 2}+...$. This model is known for its slow convergence to the asymptotic critical behavior; we therefore pay particular attention to finite-time corrections. We find that at the critical point, the ratio of $rho$ and the pair density $rho_p$ converges to a constant, indicating that both densities decay with the same powerlaw. We show that under the assumption $delta_2 approx 2 delta$, two of the critical exponents of the PCPD model are $delta = 0.165(10)$ and $beta = 0.31(4)$, consistent with those of the directed percolation (DP) model.
We investigate the influence of time-varying environmental noise, i.e., temporal disorder, on the nonequilibrium phase transition of the contact process. Combining a real-time renormalization group, scaling theory, and large scale Monte-Carlo simulat ions in one and two dimensions, we show that the temporal disorder gives rise to an exotic critical point. At criticality, the effective noise amplitude diverges with increasing time scale, and the probability distribution of the density becomes infinitely broad, even on a logarithmic scale. Moreover, the average density and survival probability decay only logarithmically with time. This infinite-noise critical behavior can be understood as the temporal counterpart of infinite-randomness critical behavior in spatially disordered systems, but with exchanged roles of space and time. We also analyze the generality of our results, and we discuss potential experiments.
In cond-mat/0107371, Mendonca proposes that diffusion can change the universality class of a parity-conserving reaction-diffusion process. In this comment we suggest that this cannot happen, due to symmetry arguments. We also present numerical result s from lattice simulations which support these arguments, and mention a previous result supporting this conclusion.

We show that spatial resolved dissipation can act on Ising lattices molding the universality class of their critical points. We consider non-local spin losses with a Liouvillian gap closing at small momenta as $propto q^alpha$, with $alpha$ a positiv e tunable exponent, directly related to the power-law decay of the spatial profile of losses at long distances. The associated quantum noise spectrum is gapless in the infrared and it yields a class of soft modes asymptotically decoupled from dissipation at small momenta. These modes are responsible for the emergence of a critical scaling regime which can be regarded as the non-unitary analogue of the universality class of long-range interacting Ising models. In particular, for $0<alpha<1$ we find a non-equilibrium critical point ruled by a dynamical field theory ascribable to a Langevin model with coexisting inertial ($proptoomega^2$) and frictional ($proptoomega$) kinetic coefficients, and driven by a gapless Markovian noise with variance $propto q^alpha$ at small momenta. This effective field theory is beyond the Halperin-Hohenberg description of dynamical criticality, and its critical exponents differ from their unitary long-range counterparts. Furthermore, by employing a one-loop improved RG calculation, we estimate the conditions for observability of this scaling regime before incoherent local emission intrudes in the spin sample, dragging the system into a thermal fixed point. We also explore other instances of criticality which emerge for $alpha>1$ or adding long-range spin interactions. Our work lays out perspectives for a revision of universality in driven-open systems by employing dark states supported by non-local dissipation.
