Abstract
We discuss the symmetry-breaking transition in the L3 phase (anomalous isotropic phase) of dilute surfactant solutions, and predict the dynamic light scattering intensity S(q,t) at long wavelengths. Our results are based on a Landau-Cinzburg approach, which has been used to explain the observed static structure factor S(q, 0). In the extreme limit of small q, we find a mono-exponential decay with marginal or irrelevant hydrodynamic interactions. In most other regimes the decay of S(q, t) is strongly non-exponential; in one case, it is purely algebraic at long times.
