Reflection of particles from a disordered or chaotic medium is characterized by a scattering matrix that can be represented as a superposition of resonances. Each resonance corresponds to an eigenstate inside the medium and has a width…
We study a dissipative version of the contact process, with mean-field interaction, which admits a simple epidemiological interpretation. The propagation of chaos and the corresponding normal fluctuations reveal that the noise present in…
Glass phases can be stabilized by quenched disorders, as in most spin-glass materials, or self-generated through kinetic freezing in disorder-free systems. A canonical example of the latter is structural glasses, which have been extensively…
In this paper we propose a simple mean-field "toy" model for the liquid-glass phase transition. This is the system of $N$ point-like particles confined in a finite volume of a $D$-dimensional space interacting via infinite-range oscillating…
The spherical p-spin model is not only a fundamental model in statistical mechanics of disordered system, but has recently gained popularity since many hard problems in machine learning can be mapped on it. Thus the study of the out of…
We summarize the salient features of our theory of non-phononic vibrational excitations in glasses [W. Schirmacher et al., Nature Comm. 15, 3107 (2024)]. Next, we provide further evidence of the non-universality of the $\omega^4$ scaling of…
We study energy minimized configurations of amorphous solids with a simple shear degree of freedom. We show that the low-frequency regime of the vibrational density of states of structural glass formers is crucially sensitive to the…
We present a compact dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) for large networks of coupled phase oscillators whose phases live on the circle $S^1$ and interact with both coherent mean-field coupling and quenched randomness. Starting from wrapped…
A longstanding open question in the theory of disordered systems is whether short-range models, such as the random field Ising model or the Edwards-Anderson model, can indeed have the famous properties that characterize mean-field spin…
The characterization of excitations in disordered quantum systems is a central issue in connection with glass physics and many-body localization. Here, we show that quench spectroscopy of a disordered model, as realized from its…

The vibrational density of states of glasses is considerably different from that of crystals. In particular, there exist spatially localized vibrational modes in glasses. The density of states of these non-phononic modes has been observed…
We have performed numerical simulation of a 3-dimensional elastic medium, with scalar displacements, subject to quenched disorder. We applied an efficient combinatorial optimization algorithm to generate exact ground states for an interface…
Using the conventional $T$-matrix approach, we discuss gapped phases in 1D, 2D, and 3D spin systems (both with and without a long range magnetic order) with bond disorder and with weakly interacting bosonic elementary excitations. This work…
In many mean-field glassy systems, the low-temperature Gibbs measure is dominated by exponentially many metastable states. We analyze the evolution of the metastable states as temperature changes adiabatically in the solvable case of the…
Glasses exhibit spatially localized vibrations in the low-frequency regime. These localized modes emerge below the boson peak frequency $\omega_\text{BP}$, and their vibrational densities of state follow $g(\omega) \propto \omega^4$…
We report some results on the quenched disordered Spherical multi-$p$-Spin Model in presence of ferromagnetic couplings. In particular, we present the phase diagrams of some representative cases that schematically describe, in the…
We discuss recent results obtained for the Hamiltonian Mean Field model. The model describes a system of N fully-coupled particles in one dimension and shows a second-order phase transition from a clustered phase to a homogeneous one when…
In accordance with recent experiments the mean-field type theories predict the presence of numerous metastable minima (states) in the rugged free-energy landscape of frustrated disordered magnets. This multiplicity of long-lived states with…
The translational symmetry of solids gives rise to the existence of low-frequency phonons. In ordered systems, some phonons characterized by different wavevectors are degenerate, i.e. they share the same frequency $\omega$; in finite-size…
