Two-stage coarsening mechanism in a kinetically constrained model of an   attractive colloid
  We study an attractive version of the East model using the real-space renormalization group (RG) introduced by Stella et al. The former is a kinetically constrained model with an Ising-like interaction between excitations, and shows striking agreement with the phenomonology of attractive colloidal systems. We find that the RG predicts two nonuniversal dynamic exponents, which suggests that in the out-of-equilibrium regime the model coarsens via a two-stage mechanism. We explain this mechanism physically, and verify this prediction numerically. In addition, we find that the characteristic relaxation time of the model is a non-monotonic function of attraction strength, again in agreement with numerical results.
