Finite Size Scaling of the Dynamical Free-Energy in a Kinetically Constrained Model

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We determine the finite size corrections to the large deviation function of the activity in a kinetically constrained model (the Fredrickson-Andersen model in one dimension), in the regime of dynamical phase coexistence. Numerical results agree with an effective model where the boundary between active and inactive regions is described by a Brownian interface.
