Abstract: (Elsevier B.V.)
We calculate the linear relaxation time for a finite size system with a cubic geometry and “model A” dynamics both above Tc in a 4 - ϵ expansion and below Tc in a 2 + ϵ expansion, and express the results in a scaling form. The universal scaling functions are obtained to one-loop order. We use the method of the effective hamiltonian for the homogeneous modes. The quantum mechanical hamiltoninian is supersymmetric. The large n limit (infinitely many spin components) is also considered both above and below Tc.
