We investigate the off-equilibrium dynamics of a spin system with O($N$) symmetry in $2 < d < 4$ spatial dimensions arising by the presence of a slowly varying time-dependent magnetic field $h(t,t_s) \sim t/t_s$, $t_s$ is a time scale, at…

The long-range one-dimensional Ising spin-glass with random couplings decaying as $J(r) \propto r^{-\sigma}$ presents a spin-glass phase $T_c(\sigma)>0$ for $0 \leq \sigma<1$ (the limit $\sigma=0$ corresponds to the mean-field SK-model). We…
The growing correlation length observed in supercooled liquids as their temperature is lowered has been studied with the aid of a single occupancy cell model. This model becomes more accurate as the density of the system is increased. One…

In a variety of systems which exhibit aging, the two-time response function scales as $R(t,s)\approx s^{-1-a} f(t/s)$. We argue that dynamical scaling can be extended towards conformal invariance, obtaining thus the explicit form of the…
