We investigate the properties of the glass phase of a recently introduced spin glass model of soft spins subjected to an anharmonic quartic local potential, which serves as a model of low temperature molecular or soft glasses. We solve the…
We have investigated the nature of the dynamical behaviour in low autocorrelation binary sequences. These models do have a glass transition $T_G$ of a purely dynamical nature. Above the glass transition the dynamics is not fully ergodic and…

We analyze the properties of the energy landscape of {\it finite-size} fully connected $p$-spin-like models. In the thermodynamic limit the high temperature phase is described by the schematic Mode Coupling Theory of super-cooled liquids.…
We present a comprehensive study of non-equilibrium phenomena in the low temperature phase of the Edwards-Anderson Gaussian spin glass in 3 and 4 spatial dimensions. Many effects can be understood in terms of a time dependent coherence…
The dynamical glass transition is typically taken to be the temperature at which a glassy liquid is no longer able to equilibrate on experimental timescales. Consequently, the physical properties of these systems just above or below the…
Spin glasses are magnetic materials exhibiting numerous magnetization patterns, that randomly vary both in real space and in time. To date, it is still not well understood what the nature of these spatiotemporal dynamics is, namely if they…
We show that there are several striking parallels between the dynamics of gelatin gels and spin glasses. In general, glassy systems retain a memory of their past history. A key characteristic differentiating spin glasses from most other…
We consider a simple model of a structural glass, represented by a lattice gas with kinetic constraints in contact with a particle reservoir. Quench below the glass transition is represented by the jump of the chemical potential above a…
We use a non-equilibrium simulation method to study the spin glass transition in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses. The transition point is repeatedly approached at finite velocity $v$ (temperature change versus time) in Monte Carlo…
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…
A picture for thermodynamics of the glassy state was introduced recently by us (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 79} (1997) 1317; {\bf 80} (1998) 5580). It starts by assuming that one extra parameter, the effective temperature, is needed to describe…
We propose a way to analyze the landscape geometry explored by a glassy system after a quench solely based on time series of energy values recorded during a simulation. Entry and exit times for landscape `valleys' are defined operationally…
We have considered the two-spin interaction spherical spin-glass model with asymmetric bonds (coupling constants). Besides the usual interactions between spins and bonds and between the spins and a thermostat with temperature $T_{\sigma}$…
We simulate the dynamics of a disordered interacting spin chain subject to a quasi-periodic time-dependent drive, corresponding to a stroboscopic Fibonacci sequence of two distinct Hamiltonians. Exploiting the recursive drive structure, we…
We present a theoretical discussion of the reversible parking problem, which appears to be one of the simplest systems exhibiting glassy behavior. The existence of slow relaxation, nontrivial fluctuations, and an annealing effect can all be…

We numerically study the aging properties of the dynamical heterogeneities in the Ising spin glass. We find that a phase transition takes place during the aging process. Statics-dynamics correspondence implies that systems of finite size in…

We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of two different Potts glass models with short range random interactions. In the first model a \pm J-distribution of the bonds is chosen, in the second model a Gaussian distribution. In both…
