title: Absence of absorbing phase transitions in a conserved lattice-gas model in one dimension.
abstract: A one-dimensional conserved lattice-gas model is known to undergo continuous absorbing phase transitions where some of the critical exponents are exactly known. In one dimension, we recently showed that the model is mapped onto a two species reaction A+B→0 with diffusion rate of D_{A}>0 and D_{B}=0. In this work, it is explicitly shown from the scaling theory for A+B→0 that the observed scaling behavior of the conserved lattice-gas model is not associated with the absorbing phase transitions. Instead, the model indeed undergoes a crossover between two different scaling behaviors of A+B→0, the scaling behaviors of equal and unequal initial densities of two species. The crossover is similar to the absorbing transitions in many respects but some important features of continuous transitions such as the diverging fluctuations of an order parameter are absent.
