Oscillatory sheared suspensions, when observed stroboscopically, exhibit a reversible-irreversible transition as a function of the strain amplitude, which is a kind of absorbing phase transition. So far studies of this transition focused on…
In periodically sheared suspensions there is a dynamical phase transition characterized by a critical strain amplitude $\gamma_c$ between an absorbing state where particle trajectories are reversible and an active state where trajectories…

We examine a two-dimensional system of sterically repulsive interacting disks where each particle runs in a random direction. This system is equivalent to a run-and-tumble dynamics system in the limit where the run time is infinite. At low…
We present results on a series of 2D atomistic computer simulations of amorphous systems subjected to simple shear in the athermal, quasistatic limit. The athermal quasistatic trajectories are shown to separate into smooth, reversible…
Jamming transition is traditionally regarded as a geometric transition governed by static contact networks. Recently, dynamic phase transitions of athermal particles under periodic shearing provide a new lens on this problem, leading to a…
Experiments of periodically sheared colloidal suspensions or soft amorphous solids display a transition from reversible to irreversible particle motion that, when analysed stroboscopically in time, is interpreted as an absorbing phase…
We study a two-dimensional, off-lattice particle model introduced to describe absorbing phase transitions in driven non-Brownian suspensions. We numerically explore the $(\phi,\epsilon)$ phase diagram, where $\phi$ is the packing fraction…

Self-organized criticality is characterized by power law correlations in the non-equilibrium steady state of externally driven systems. A dynamical system proposed here self-organizes itself to a critical state with no characteristic size…
The routine transformation of a liquid, as it is cooled rapidly, resulting in glass formation, is remarkably complex. A theoretical explanation of the dynamics associated with this process has remained one of the major unsolved problems in…
The unreduced, universally nonperturbative analysis of arbitrary many-body interaction process reveals the irreducible, purely dynamic source of randomness. It leads to the universal definition of real system complexity (physics/9806002),…
Self-organization through noisy interactions is ubiquitous across physics, mathematics, and machine learning, yet how long-range structure emerges from local noisy dynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate three paradigmatic…
A simple dynamical model, Biased Random Organization, BRO, appears to produce configurations known as Random Close Packing (RCP) as BRO's densest critical point in dimension $d=3$. We conjecture that BRO likewise produces RCP in any…
A novel method for the numerical prediction of the slowly varying dynamics of nonlinear mechanical systems has been developed. The method is restricted to the regime of an isolated nonlinear mode and consists of a two-step procedure: In the…
We experimentally study the vicinity of the Jamming transition by investigating the statics and the dynamics of the contact network of an horizontally shaken bi-disperse packing of photo-elastic discs. Compressing the packing very slowly,…
We demonstrate the existence of unconventional rheological and memory properties in systems of soft-deformable particles whose energy depends on their shape, via numerical simulations. At large strains, these systems experience an…
The Random First Order Transition Theory (RFOT) predicts that transport proceeds by cooperative movement of particles in domains whose sizes increase as a liquid is compressed above a characteristic volume fraction, $\phi_d$. The rounded…
Jamming is a phenomenon shared by a wide variety of systems, such as granular materials, foams, and glasses in their high density regime. This has motivated the development of a theoretical framework capable of explaining many of their…
