Abstract Using renormalization group techniques, we investigate the large distance behavior of a driven, interacting lattice gas in the disordered phase. Unlike the equilibrium Ising model, its behavior, ford〉2, is controlled by aline of fixed points, each of which is interpreted as a dynamical system violating the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). As a consequence, correlation functions at large distances typically decay according to a power law instead of an exponential. Ford≤2, the renormalization group flows towards an FDT-satisfying fixed point, which corresponds to the high-temperature, strong-drive limit. In the steady state of such a model (a driven, “free” lattice gas), correlations are known to be exactly zero. Nevertheless, our correlations are still dominated by power laws, since the FDT-breaking operators aredangerously irrelevant (marginal ind=2). Thus, for anyd, the long wavelength properties cannot be obtained by taking either the non-interacting or theT→∞ limit, unlike for the equilibrium Ising model.
