A novel form of amorphous matter characterized by marginal stability was recently discovered in the mean-field theory of structural glasses. Using this approach, we provide complete phase diagrams delimiting the location of the marginally…
A relaxation process, with the associated phenomenology of sound attenuation and sound velocity dispersion, is found in a simulated harmonic Lennard-Jones glass. We propose to identify this process with the so called microscopic (or…

We consider paramagnetic, spin-glass and ferromagnetic phases. At $T=0$ model gives for the some values of connectivity (near the critical) extremal suppression of finite size effects (decoding error probability).
In this thesis I present most of the results obtained during my PhD, where I worked on different subjects regarding jamming in systems of frictionless spheres. In particular, I focused on microscopic properties of jammed packings, such as…
Recently, progress has been made in the understanding of anomalous vibrational excitations in amorphous solids. In the lowest-frequency region, the vibrational spectrum follows a non-Debye quartic law, which persists up to zero frequency…
Sound reflections and late reverberation alter energetic and binaural cues of a target source, thereby affecting it's detection in noise. Two experiments investigated detection of harmonic complex tones, centered around 500 Hz, in noise in…
