Effective Trap-like Activated Dynamics in a Continuous Landscape

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2020-05-13 v2 Soft Condensed Matter Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We use a simple model to extend network models for activated dynamics to a continuous landscape with a well-defined notion of distance and a direct connection to many-body systems. The model consists of a tracer in a high-dimensional funnel landscape with no disorder. We find a non-equilibrium low-temperature phase with aging dynamics, that is effectively equivalent to that of models with built-in disorder, such as Trap Model, Step Model and REM.
