We consider the overdamped motion of N harmonically coupled particles in a double well potential under the influence of additive Gaussian white noise. System parameters are noise strength, coupling strength and potential barrier height. In the limit N → ∞ the system exhibits a continous phase transition from a symmetric to a non-symmetric state.
Given any two parameters, positive, there exists a unique critical value for the third parameter, separating the symmetric from the non-symmetric parameter regime.
An inequality for the parameters holding for any critical point is shown and the critical potential barrier is asymptotically calculated. The critical potential barrier reaches the bounds of the inequality for strong coupling or weak noise and for weak coupling or strong noise.
The critical exponents for the order parameter and the susceptibility are computed and universality of the amplitude ratio of the susceptibilities is shown.
