In this article, we present a systematic study of the critical behavior of phase oscillators with multiplicative noise from a thermodynamic equilibrium approach. We have already presented the thermodynamics of phase noise oscillators and mapped out in detail the behavior of free energy, entropy, and specific heat in a previous work [P. D. Pinto, F.A. Oliveira, A.L.A. Penna, Phys. Rev. E 93, 052220 (2016)], in which we also introduced the concept of synchronization field. This proved to be important in order to understand the effect of multiplicative noise in the synchronization of the system. Using this approach, our aim is now to study analytically the critical behavior of this system from which we derive a fluctuation-dissipation relation as well as the critical exponents associated with the order parameter, specific heat, and susceptibility. We show that the exponents obey the Rushbrooke and Widom scaling laws. |
