Phase ordering in chaotic map lattices with conserved dynamics.
Dynamical scaling in a two-dimensional lattice model of chaotic maps, in contact with a thermal bath at temperature T, is numerically studied. The model here proposed is equivalent to a conserved Ising model with couplings that fluctuate over the same time scale as spin moves. When coupling fluctuations and thermal fluctuations are both important, this model does not belong to the class of universality of a Langevin equation known as model B; the scaling exponents are continuously varying with T and depend on the map used. The universal behavior of model B is recovered when thermal fluctuations are dominant.
