We introduce the headway exclusion process which is an exclusion process with $N$ particles on the one-dimensional discrete torus with $L$ sites with jump rates that depend only on the distance to the next particle in the direction of the…

We use event driven simulations to analyze glassy dynamics as a function of density and energy dissipation in a two-dimensional bidisperse granular fluid under stationary conditions. Clear signatures of a glass transition are identified,…
We introduce and study a family of cooperative exclusion processes whose microscopic dynamics is governed by selective kinetic constraints. They display, in sharp contrast to the simple symmetric exclusion process, density profiles that can…
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…
