We investigate aging in glassy systems based on a simple model, where a point in configuration space performs thermally activated jumps between the minima of a random energy landscape. The model allows us to show explicitly a subaging…

We introduce a new interacting particle system on $\mathbb{Z}$, \emph{slowed $t$-TASEP}. It may be viewed as a $q$-TASEP with additional position-dependent slowing of jump rates depending on a parameter $t$, which leads to discrete and…
