Log-Poisson statistics and full aging in glassy systems

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-10 v3 Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract

We argue that Poisson statistics in logarithmic time provides an idealized description of non-equilibrium configurational rearrangements in aging glassy systems. The description puts stringent requirements on the geometry of the metastable attractors visited at age twt_w. Analytical implications for the residence time distributions as a function of twt_w and the correlation functions are derived. These are verified by extensive numerical studies of short range Ising spin glasses.
