Abstract
A master equation formulation of the kinetic, q-state Potts model is presented. It is shown that this formulation reduces to Glauber's dynamics in the Ising limit. The single-spin problem is considered and the properties of its q-1, temperature dependent relaxation times are studied. The linear chain problem is much harder than in the Glauber case-a variational method is used to obtain a lower bound for the dynamical critical exponent (z>or=3 for q>2). A discussion of these and related problems is presented.
