Abstract:
Hyperuniformity is an emergent property, whereby the structure factor of the density n scales as S(q)∼q^{α}, with α>0. We show that for the conserved directed percolation (CDP) class, to which the Manna model belongs, there is an exact mapping between the density n in CDP, and the interface position u at depinning, n(x)=n_{0}+∇^{2}u(x), where n_{0} is the conserved particle density. As a consequence, the hyperuniformity exponent equals α=4-d-2ζ, with ζ the roughness exponent at depinning, and d the dimension. In d=1, α=1/2, while 0.6>α≥0 for other d. Our results fit well the simulations in the literature, except in d=1, where we perform our own to confirm this result. Such an exact relation between two seemingly different fields is surprising, and paves new paths to think about hyperuniformity and depinning. As corollaries, we get results of unprecedented precision in all dimensions, exact in d=1. This corrects earlier work on hyperuniformity in CDP.
