Universal self-similar dynamics of relativistic and non-relativistic field theories near non-thermal fixed points — •Asier Piñeiro Orioli1, Kirill Boguslavski1, and Jürgen Berges1,2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Heidelberg, Philosophenweg 16, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany — 2ExtreMe Matter Institute EMMI, Planckstraße 1, 64291 Darmstadt, Germany
The dynamics of quantum fields far from equilibrium play an important role in systems ranging from early universe cosmology and relativistic heavy-ion collisions to ultra cold quantum gases. Strikingly, universal features emerge during the respective thermalisation processes. This universality is based on the existence of non-thermal fixed points, which are attractor solutions characterised by turbulence and self-similar time evolution. In this talk we will show that the (massless) relativistic and the non-relativistic (Gross-Pitaevskii) scalar field theory belong to the same universality class in the infrared. We compute the scaling exponents and scaling functions in this non-perturbative regime in two ways: first by performing classical statistical lattice simulations and second by using the resummed 2PI 1/N expansion to NLO.
