Short-time critical dynamics in the classical cubic dimer model (opens in new tab)

The classical dimer model on the cubic lattice hosts a columnar ordered phase and a disordered Coulomb phase, separated by a continuous phase transition that lies beyond the conventional Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. While its equilibrium critical properties have been extensively studied, the nonequilibrium critical dynamics of this model--particularly in the short-time regime--remains largely unexplored. In this work, we investigate the shor...
