The Critical Exponent of the Fractional Langevin Equation is ${\alpha }_c\approx 0.402$

We investigate the dynamical phase diagram of the fractional Langevin equation and show that critical exponents mark dynamical transitions in the behavior of the system. For a free and harmonically bound particle the critical exponent ${\alpha }_c=0.402\pm 0.002$ marks a transition to a non-monotonic under-damped phase. The critical exponent ${\alpha }_R=\mathrm{0.441...}$ marks a transition to a resonance phase, when an external oscillating field drives the system. Physically, we explain these behaviors using a cage effect, where the medium induces an elastic type of friction. Phase diagrams describing the under-damped, the over-damped and critical frequencies of the fractional oscillator, recently used to model single protein experiments, show behaviors vastly different from normal.
