The authors propose a modified voter model with locally conserved magnetization and investigate its phase ordering dynamics in two dimensions in numerical simulations. Imposing a local constraint on the dynamics has the surprising effect of speeding up the phase ordering process. The system is shown to exhibit a scaling regime characterized by algebraic domain growth, at odds with the logarithmic coarsening of the standard voter model. Their analysis exposes unexpected complexity in the phase ordering dynamics without thermodynamic potential. References: Fabio Caccioli, Luca Dall’Asta, Tobias Galla, and Tim Rogers, Phys. Rev.
