Abstract

We investigate the short-time dynamics of the one-dimensional $q = 3$ Potts model with a power-law decaying interactions of the form $r^-(1 + \sigma)$. This model is known to exhibit both first- and second-order transition regimes, which depend on the parameter of range $\sigma$ and are separated by a $q$-dependent tricritical point $\sigma_c(q)$ 1. The location of this point, where the first-order transition becomes extremely weak presents difficulties both for RG approaches and for equilibrium numerical simulations 2-3. We examine the first-order transition regime and its onset at $\sigma_c$ by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, which recently appeared to be efficient in detecting weak first-order phase transitions 4. We consider the short-time relaxation processes for magnetization and its higher momenta starting from high and low temperatures. We analyse the appearance of two pseudo critical temperatures characteristic for the first-order transition regime, which should merge at the tricritical point. \\ 1) Z. Glumac and K. Uzelac, Phys.
