In papers devoted to superfluidity, the generally accepted statement that the dynamics of the corresponding phase transition is described by the stochastic model F or E can be frequently found. Nevertheless, the dynamical critical index has not been found even in the leading order of the perturbation theory. It is also unknown which model, E or F, in fact corresponds to this system. We use two different approaches to study this problem. First, we study the dynamics of the critical behavior in a neighborhood of the λ point using the renormalization group method based on a quantum microscopic model in the formalism of the time-dependent Green’s functions at a finite temperature. Second, we study the stochastic model F to find whether it is stable under compressibility effects. Both approaches lead to the same very unexpected result: the dynamics of the phase transition to the superfluid state are described by the stochastic model A with a known dynamical critical index.
