Abstract

The d-dimensional time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) model is mapped onto a special (d+1)-dimensional model which exhibits a Lifshitz tricritical point (LTP). Many of the LTP critical properties follow from those of the TDGL model, and are shown to belong to a novel universality class of LTPs which results from a (previously ignored) relevant, nonlocal, quartic spin operator. These properties are analyzed with the use of scaling, an expansion, and the n limit.
