COLORED ACTIVITY IN SELF-ORGANIZED CRITICAL INTERFACE DYNAMICS

We study roughening interfaces that become self-organized critical by a rule similar to that of invasion percolation. We demonstrate that there is a fundamental difference between transient and critical dynamical exponents. The exponents break the Galilean invariance and temporal multi-scaling is observed. We show that the activity along the interface exhibits nontrivial power law correlations in both space and time even though only quenched Gaussian noise is applied. The results are compared with simulations where spatial power law correlated noise is used as input.
