The principal theme of this paper is that anomalously slow, super-Arrhenius relaxations in glassy materials may be activated processes involving chains of molecular displacements. As pointed out in a preceding paper with A. Lemaitre, the…

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the spherical p-spin models in the scaling regime near the plateau and derive the corresponding scaling functions for the correlators. Our main result is that the matching between different time…
A kinetic one-dimensional Ising model is coupled to two heat baths, such that spins at even (odd) lattice sites experience a temperature $T_{e}$ ($% T_{o}$). Spin flips occur with Glauber-type rates generalised to the case of two…
We show results of simulations of a weakly driven four dimensional Edwards- Anderson spin glass, which presents clear signatures of dynamical ultrametricity at low temperatures. The presence of a hierarchical organization of time scales is…
In this paper we continue the study of a topological glassy system. The state space of the model is given by all triangulations of a sphere with $N$ nodes, half of which are red and half are blue. Red nodes want to have 5 neighbors while…
We study the nature of the glass transition by cooling model atomistic glass formers at constant rate from a temperature above the onset of glassy dynamics to $T=0$. Motivated by the East model, a kinetically constrained lattice model with…
Using Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied the relaxation of energy of the three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model in aging process. Our finite-size-scaling analysis on the isothermal energy decay after the quench suggests strongly…

The deviations from full or pure aging behavior, i.e. perfect $t/t_w$ scaling of the correlation and response functions of aging glassy systems, are not well understood theoretically. Recent experiments of Rodriguez et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett.…
We study the relaxational dynamics of flux lines in high-temperature superconductors with random pinning using Langevin dynamics. At high temperatures the dynamics is stationary and the fluctuation dissipation theorem (FDT) holds. At low…
For several atomistic models of glass formers, at conditions below their glassy dynamics onset temperatures, ${T_\mathrm{o}}$, we use importance sampling of trajectory space to study the structure, statistics and dynamics of excitations…
In supercooled liquids, dynamical facilitation refers to a phenomenon where microscopic motion begets further motion nearby, resulting in spatially heterogeneous dynamics. This is central to the glassy relaxation dynamics of such liquids,…

Tackling the low-temperature fate of supercooled liquids is challenging due to the immense timescales involved, which prevent equilibration and lead to the operational glass transition. Relating glassy behaviour to an underlying,…
Glassy systems are characterized by an extremely sluggish dynamics without any simple sign of long range order. It is a debated question whether a correct description of such phenomenon requires the emergence of a large correlation length.…
