Symmetry breaking through a sequence of transitions in a driven diffusive system
@article{Clincy2001SymmetryBT, title={Symmetry breaking through a sequence of transitions in a driven diffusive system}, author={M. Clincy and Martin R. Evans and David Mukamel}, journal={Journal of Physics A}, year={2001}, volume={34}, pages={9923-9937} }
In this paper we study a two-species driven diffusive system with open boundaries that exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking in one dimension. In a symmetry broken state the currents of the two species are not equal, although the dynamics is symmetric. A mean-field theory predicts a sequence of two transitions from a strong symmetry broken state through an intermediate symmetry broken state to a symmetric state. However, a recent numerical study has questioned the existence of the intermediate…

It is argued that a U shock will occur whenever there are strong interactions between species such that the current-density relation develops a double well and the umbilical point becomes isolated, and it is proved that such an umbrella point is a general feature of multispecies driven diffusive systems with reflection symmetry of the bulk dynamics.
