Description
Summary:The Hamiltonian nature of the precessional dynamics of the classical Heisenberg model leads to reciprocal interactions amongst the spins. Heisenberg spins are reciprocal in nature. In this work, we study the dynamics of a nonequilibrium classical spin chain in which the neighbours interact through a purely non-reciprocal exchange coupling [EPL 60, 418 (2002)] which preserves rotational symmetry. The resultant dynamics conserves neither magnetization nor energy. We uncover other local conservation laws in their place in the extreme case of a strictly antisymmetric coupling. We show numerically that the model undergoes an analogue of thermalization. We present results on the presence of conserved quantities, their diffusive spreading and a hydrodynamic picture, and the nature of the decorrelation front upon adding an initial perturbation to the system.
