Abstract: The study of the phase ordering kinetics of the ferromagnetic one-dimensional Ising model dates back to 1963 for non conserved order parameter (NCOP) and to 1991 for conserved order parameter (COP). The case of long range interactions J(r) has been widely studied at equilibrium but their effect on relaxation is a much less investigated field. Here we make a detailed numerical and analytical study of both cases, NCOP and COP. Many results are valid for any positive, decreasing coupling J(r), but we focus specifically on the exponential case, Jexp(r)=e−r/R with varying R>0, and on the integrable power law case, Jpow(r)=1/r1+sigma with sigma>0. We find that the {it asymptotic} growth law L(t) is the usual algebraic one, L(t)simt1/z, of the corresponding model with nearest neighborg interaction (zNCOP=2 and zCOP=3) for all models except Jpow for small sigma: in the non conserved case when sigmale1 (zNCOP=sigma+1) and in the conserved case when sigmao0+ (, where is the inverse of the absolute temperature). The models with space decaying interactions also differ markedly from the ones with nearest neighbors due to the presence of many long-lasting preasymptotic regimes, such as an exponential mean-field behavior with L(t)simet, a ballistic one with L(t)simt, a slow (logarithmic) behavior L(t)simlnt and one with L(t)simt1/sigma+1. All these regimes and their validity ranges have been found analytically and verified in numerical simulations. Our results show that the main effect of the conservation law is a strong slowdown of COP dynamics if interactions have an extended range. Finally, we compare the Ising model at hand with continuum approaches based on a Ginzburg-Landau free energy.
