Glassy dynamics and nonextensive effects in the HMF model: the importance of initial conditions

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

We review the anomalies of the HMF model and discuss the robusteness of the glassy features vs the initial conditions. Connections to Tsallis statistics are also addressed.

11 pages, 5 figures. Talk presented at the International conference Complexity and Nonextensivity: New Trends in Statistical Mechanics. - Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics - (14-18 March 2005) Kyoto, Japan. New calculations on the glassy behaviour of the HMF model are discussed. Typos correctd. Please note that in the published version, the exponent of the power-law fit observed in fig.2 is erroneously reported as -1/6 instead of the correct value -1.6
