Scaling of the dynamics of a homogeneous one-dimensional anisotropic classical Heisenberg model with long-range interactions.
The dynamics of quasistationary states of long-range interacting systems with N particles can be described by kinetic equations such as the Balescu-Lenard and Landau equations. In the case of one-dimensional homogeneous systems, two-body contributions vanish as two-body collisions in one dimension only exchange momentum and thus cannot change the one-particle distribution. Using a Kac factor in the interparticle potential implies a scaling of the dynamics proportional to N(δ) with δ=1 except for one-dimensional homogeneous systems. For the latter different values for δ were reported for a few models. Recently it was shown by Rocha Filho and collaborators [Phys. Rev. E 90, 032133 (2014)] for the Hamiltonian mean-field model that δ=2 provided that N is sufficiently large, while small N effects lead to δ≈1.7. More recently, Gupta and Mukamel [J. Stat. Mech. (2011) P03015] introduced a classical spin model with an anisotropic interaction with a scaling in the dynamics proportional to N(1.7) for a homogeneous state. We show here that this model reduces to a one-dimensional Hamiltonian system and that the scaling of the dynamics approaches N(2) with increasing N. We also explain from theoretical consideration why usual kinetic theory fails for small N values, which ultimately is the origin of noninteger exponents in the scaling.
