We discuss the general link between mode-coupling like equations (which serve as the basis of some recent theories of supercooled liquids) and the dynamical equations governing mean-field spin-glass models, or the dynamics of a particle in…
We exploit the identification between the critical theory of the 3-state Potts model and the D_5 conformal model. This allows us to determine all 3-point correlations involving the fields associated with the Potts order parameter and the…
