The existence of heterogeneity in the dynamics of supercooled liquids is believed to be one of the hallmarks of the glass transition. Intense research has been carried out in the past to understand the origin of this heterogeneity in…
Critical dynamics in various glass models including those described by mode coupling theory is described by scale-invariant dynamical equations with a single non-universal quantity, i.e. the so-called parameter exponent that determines all…
Observation indicates that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating and favours a dynamical cosmological constant, \Lambda(t). We consider the possibility that this is due to a scalar field which has undergone a very recent phase…
With dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the continuous phase transition in the three-dimensional three-state random-bond Potts model. We propose a useful technique to deal with the strong corrections to the dynamic scaling…
Validity of modified finite-size scaling above the upper critical dimension is demonstrated for the quantum phase transition whose dynamical critical exponent is $z=2$. We consider the $N$-component Bose-Hubbard model, which is exactly…
We study the relaxation of a 2D ultracold Bose-gas from a nonequilibrium initial state containing vortex excitations in experimentally realizable square and rectangular traps. We show that the subsystem of vortex gas excitations results in…
The large N sigma model, in D<4 space-time dimensions, with disorder a function of d space dimensions, is analyzed via a renormalization group treatment. Critical exponents for average quantities are calculated, first to lowest order and…
The number of configurations of the dynamical triangulation model of 4D euclidean quantum gravity appears to grow faster than exponentially with the volume, with the implication that the system would end up in the crumpled phase for any…
We show that the glass transition predicted by the Mode-Coupling Theory (MCT) is a critical phenomenon with a diverging length and time scale associated to the cooperativity of the dynamics. We obtain the scaling exponents nu and z that…
Nonequilibrium dynamics of the $\pm J$ Ising, the {\it XY}, and the Heisenberg spin-glass models are investigated in three dimensions. A nonequilibrium dynamic exponent is calculated from the dynamic correlation length. The spin-glass…
We show that the three-dimensional map between fermions and bosons at finite temperature generalises for all odd dimensions $d>3$. We further argue that such a map has a nontrivial large $d$ limit. Evidence comes from studying the gap…
We consider the Bose gas on a $d$-dimensional anisotropic lattice employing the imperfect (mean-field) gas as a prototype example. We study the dimensional crossover arising as a result of varying the dispersion relation at finite…

A wide range of glassy and disordered materials exhibit complex, non-exponential, structural relaxation (aging). We propose a simple nonlinear rate equation d\delta/dt = a [1-exp (b\delta)], where '\delta' is the normalized deviation of a…
I describe in these notes the physical properties of one dimensional interacting quantum particles. In one dimension the combined effects of interactions and quantum fluctuations lead to a radically new physics quite different from the one…
The large N commensurate dirty boson model, in both the weakly and strongly commensurate cases, is considered via a perturbative renormalization group treatment. In the weakly commensurate case, there exists a fixed line under RG flow, with…
