The diffusive pair contact process and non-equilibrium wetting
Abstract
The Langevin equation for the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) 2A->3A, 2A->0 can be mapped by a Cole-Hopf transformation to a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in a potential which has been discussed previously in the context of non-equilibrium wetting. Using this transformation the phase transition in the PCPD manifests itself as a depinning transition at the borderline of a region of phase coexistence, supporting the conjecture that the PCPD belongs to the DP universality class.
