Non-mean-field Critical Exponent in a Mean-field Model : Dynamics versus
Statistical Mechanics

The critical exponent of susceptibility is expected as 1 in systems belonging to the mean-field universality class. On the other hand, the mean-field nature permits to introduce the Vlasov equation in the place of the Liouville equation, and the linear response theory based on the Vlasov equation gives the strange exponent 1/4 in the low-temperature side of the Hamiltonian mean-field model. We clarify that this strange exponent is due to existence of Casimir invariants which traps the system in a quasistationary state for a time scale diverging with the system size. The theoretical prediction is numerically confirmed by N-body simulations and numerical Vlasov solutions.
