The Kob-Andersen model is a fundamental example of a kinetically constrained lattice gas, that is, an interacting particle system with Kawasaki type dynamics and kinetic constraints. In this model, a particle is allowed to jump when…

We describe spatio-temporal correlations and heterogeneities in a kinetically constrained glassy model, the Kob-Andersen model. The kinetic constraints of the model alone induce the existence of dynamic correlation lengths, that increase as…

A diffusive lattice gas is characterized by the diffusion coefficient depending only on the density. The Green-Kubo formula for diffusivity can be represented as a variational formula, but even when the equilibrium properties of a lattice…
This paper concerns with the hydrodynamic limit of the Kob-Andersen model, an interacting particle system that has been introduced by physicists in order to explain glassy behavior, and widely studies since. We will see that the density…
Kinetically-constrained models are lattice-gas models that are used for describing glassy systems. By construction, their equilibrium state is trivial and there are no equal-time correlations between the occupancy of different sites. We…
We studied the single dimer dynamics in a lattice diffusive model as a function of particle density in the high densification regime. The mean square displacement is found to be subdiffusive both in one and two dimensions. The spatial…
Supercooled liquids are characterized by relaxation times that increase dramatically by cooling or compression. Many liquids have been shown to obey power-law density scaling, according to which the relaxation time is a function of density…
We analyze the density and size dependence of the relaxation time $\tau$ for kinetically constrained spin systems. These have been proposed as models for strong or fragile glasses and for systems undergoing jamming transitions. For the one…
We present new results reflecting the analogies between the Kob-Andersen model and other glassy systems. Studying the stability of the blocked configurations above and below the transition we also give arguments that supports their…
Kinetically constrained lattice models of glasses introduced by Kob and Andersen (KA) are analyzed. It is proved that only two behaviors are possible on hypercubic lattices: either ergodicity at all densities or trivial non-ergodicity,…
We present Monte Carlo simulation results on the equilibrium relaxation dynamics in the two dimensional lattice Coulomb gas, where finite fraction $f$ of the lattice sites are occupied by positive charges. In the case of high order rational…
The crucial problem for better understanding the nature of glass transition and related relaxation phenomena is to find proper interrelations between molecular dynamics and thermodynamics of viscous systems. To gain this aim the recently…
