We consider the non-equilibrium dynamics of the East model, a linear chain of 0-1 spins evolving under a simple Glauber dynamics in the presence of a kinetic constraint which forbids flips of those spins whose left neighbour is 1. We focus…

A spin-glass transition has been investigated for a long time but we have not yet reached a conclusion due to difficulties in the simulations. They are slow dynamics, strong finite-size effects, and sample-to-sample dependences. We…
