The dynamical transition occurring in spin-glass models with one step of Replica-Symmetry-Breaking is a mean-field artifact that disappears in finite systems and/or in finite dimensions. The critical fluctuations that smooth the transition…

Dielectric measurements on molecular liquids just above the glass transition indicate that alpha relaxation is characterized by a generic high-frequency loss varying as $\omega^{-1/2}$, whereas deviations from this come from one or more…
We present a model of spheres moving in a high-dimensional compact space. We relate it to a mixed matrix model with a $O(N)$ invariant model plus a $P(N)$ invariant perturbation. We then study the low pressure regime by performing a…

The dynamics and the thermodynamics of particles/spins interacting via long-range forces display several unusual features with respect to systems with short-range interactions. The Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, a Hamiltonian system of…
Glasses at low temperature fluctuate around their inherent states; glassy anomalies reflect the structure of these states. Recently there have been numerous observations of long-range stress correlations in glassy materials, from…
