title: Global persistence exponent of the double-exchange model.
abstract: We obtained the global persistence exponent for a continuous spin model on the simple cubic lattice with double-exchange interaction by using two different methods. First, we estimated the exponent theta(g) by following the time evolution of probability P(t) that the order parameter of the model does not change its sign up to time t[P(t) approximately t(-theta(g)]. Afterwards, that exponent was estimated through the scaling collapse of the universal function L(theta(g)(z)P(t) for different lattice sizes. Our results for both approaches are in very good agreement with each other.
