Glassy matter like crystals resists change in shape. Therefore a theory for their continuous melting should show how the shear elastic constant $\mu$ goes to zero. Since viscosity is the long wave-length low frequency limit of shear…

A controversial issue in spin glass theory is whether mean field correctly describes 3-dimensional spin glasses. If it does, how can replica symmetry breaking arise in terms of spin clusters in Euclidean space? Here we argue that there…
Three different vortex glass models are studied by examining the energy barrier against vortex motion across the system. In the two-dimensional gauge glass this energy barrier is found to increase logarithmically with system size which is…
