Systems of highly degenerate ordered or frozen state may exhibit inverse melting (reversible crystallization upon heating) or inverse freezing (reversible glass transition upon heating). This phenomena is reviewed, and a list of…
A spin model that displays inverse melting and inverse glass transition is presented and analyzed. Strong degeneracy of the interacting states of an individual spin leads to entropic preference of the "ferromagnetic" phase, while lower…

Glass transition where viscosity of liquids increases dramatically upon decrease of temperature without any major change in structural properties, remains one of the most challenging problems in condensed matter physics (Cavagna, 2009;…
We introduce a lattice spin model where frustration is due to multibody interactions rather than quenched disorder in the Hamiltonian. The system has a crystalline ground state and below the melting temperature displays a dynamic behaviour…
In this paper we investigate the superspin glass behavior of a concentrated assembly of interacting maghemite nanoparticles and compare it to that of canonical atomic spin glass systems. ac versus temperature and frequency measurements show…
We study magnetic properties of the 3-state spin ($S_{i}=0$ and $\pm 1$) spin glass (SG) van Hemmen model with ferromagnetic interaction $J_0$ under a random field (RF). The RF follows a bimodal distribution The combined effect of the…
We analyze the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with disordered magnetic interaction displaying the inverse freezing phenomenon. The behaviour of this spin-1 model in crystal field is studied throughout the phase diagram and the transition and…
We report on a refined version of our spin-glass type approach to the low-temperature physics of structural glasses. Its key idea is based on a Born von Karman expansion of the interaction potential about a set of reference positions in…
Typical features of glass phenomenology such as the Vogel-Fulcher law, the Kauzmann paradox and the Adam-Gibbs relationship are shown to follow from the recently discovered mapping of glasses to Ising spin glasses in a magnetic field. There…

We show that any SYK-like model with finite-body interactions among \textit{local} degrees of freedom, e.g., bosons or spins, has a fundamental difference from the standard fermionic model: the former fails to be described by an annealed…
