Asymptotically Exact Solution of the Fredrickson-Andersen Model (1902.06537v1)

Abstract: The Fredrickson-Andersen (FA) model---a kinetically constrained lattice model---displays an ergodic to non-ergodic transition with a slow two-step relaxation of dynamical correlation functions close to the transition point. We derive an asymptotically exact solution for the dynamical occupation correlation function of the FA model on the Bethe lattice by identifying an exact expression for its memory kernel. The exact solution fulfills a scaling relation between critical exponents and allows to calculate the exponents explicitly. In addition, we propose an approximate dynamics that describes numerical data away from the critical point over many decades in time.
