From multiplicative noise to directed percolation in wetting transitions


الملخص بالإنكليزية

A simple one-dimensional microscopic model of the depinning transition of an interface from an attractive hard wall is introduced and investigated. Upon varying a control parameter, the critical behaviour observed along the transition line changes from a directed-percolation to a multiplicative-noise type. Numerical simulations allow for a quantitative study of the multicritical point separating the two regions, Mean-field arguments and the mapping on a yet simpler model provide some further insight on the overall scenario.
