Slow dynamics in glassy systems is often interpreted as due to thermally activated events between "metastable" states. This emphasizes the role of nonperturbative fluctuations, which is especially dramatic when these fluctuations destroy a…

We numerically study crystal nucleation and glassy slow dynamics of the one-component Gaussian core model (GCM) at high densities. The nucleation rate at a fixed supersaturation is found to decrease as the density increases. At very high…
In this letter we study a lattice gas system that undergoes a glassy transition. When we approach the glass transition we find both a divergence of a point to set correlation length and the vanishing of the thermodynamic potential. These…
We study the dynamics of a one-component liquid constrained on a spherical substrate, a 2-sphere, and investigate how the mode-coupling theory (MCT) can describe the new features brought by the presence of curvature. To this end we have…
