Critical Behavior of O(n)-symmetric Systems With Reversible   Mode-coupling Terms: Stability Against Detailed-balance Violation
  We investigate nonequilibrium critical properties of $O(n)$-symmetric models with reversible mode-coupling terms. Specifically, a variant of the model of Sasv\'ari, Schwabl, and Sz\'epfalusy is studied, where violation of detailed balance is incorporated by allowing the order parameter and the dynamically coupled conserved quantities to be governed by heat baths of different temperatures $T_S$ and $T_M$, respectively. Dynamic perturbation theory and the field-theoretic renormalization group are applied to one-loop order, and yield two new fixed points in addition to the equilibrium ones. The first one corresponds to $\Theta = T_S / T_M = \infty$ and leads to model A critical behavior for the order parameter and to anomalous noise correlations for the generalized angular momenta; the second one is at $\Theta = 0$ and is characterized by mean-field behavior of the conserved quantities, by a dynamic exponent $z = d / 2$ equal to that of the equilibrium SSS model, and by modified static critical exponents. However, both these new fixed points are unstable, and upon approaching the critical point detailed balance is restored, and the equilibrium static and dynamic critical properties are recovered.
