title: Critical dynamics of stochastic models with energy conservation (model C).
abstract: We calculate the field-theoretic functions of the generalized dynamical model C*, in which a conserved secondary density is coupled to a nonconserved complex order parameter, in two-loop order. We show that the fixed points in this extended model are equal to the fixed points obtained in model C with a real order parameter, which has been introduced by Halperin, Hohenberg, and Ma. Our results correct long-standing errors in the field-theoretic functions in model C published by several authors leading also to different fixed point values w* for the ratio of the two time scales involved. The stability regions of the fixed points, which remained partially unclear, considered in a "phase diagram"--whose axes are the spatial dimension d and number of order parameter components n--are now clarified. Especially an anomalous region found by previous authors, in which the scaling properties remained unsolved, does not exist. There are only two regions: one with a finite fixed point w* where the dynamical exponent z of the order parameter is z=2+alpha/nu and another region where w*=0 and z is equal to the model A value.
