We consider low--dimensional dynamical systems with a mixed phase space and discuss the typical appearance of slow, polynomial decay of correlations: in particular we emphasize how this mixing rate is related to large deviations properties.
We show that the relaxation dynamics near a glass transition with continuous ergodicity breaking can be endowed with a geometric interpretation based on percolation theory. At mean-field level this approach is consistent with the…
We present a calculation of a fourth-order, time-dependent density correlation function that measures higher-order spatiotemporall correlations of the density of a liquid. From molecular dynamics simulations of a glass-forming Lennard-Jones…
A method is discussed to analyze the dynamics of a dissipative quantum system. The method hinges upon the definition of an alternative (time-dependent) product among the observables of the system. In the long time limit this yields a…

In a recent letter, Kawasaki et al. (PRL 99, 215701 (2007)) study glass formation in a 2-dimensional (2D) model of polydisperse repulsive disks. They give numerical evidence for a direct relation between slowing down of the relaxation,…
We study dynamical heterogeneity and glassy dynamics in a kinetically constrained lattice gas model which has both translational and rotational degrees of freedom. We find that the rotational diffusion constant tracks the structural…
We describe spatio-temporal correlations and heterogeneities in a kinetically constrained glassy model, the Kob-Andersen model. The kinetic constraints of the model alone induce the existence of dynamic correlation lengths, that increase as…
The growth of the spin-glass correlation length has been measured as a function of the waiting time $t_{\mathrm{w}}$ on a single crystal of CuMn (6 at.\%), reaching values $\xi\sim 150$ nm, larger than any other glassy correlation-length…
Spatial coherence of thermal fields in far- and near-field zones generated by heated half-space into vacuum is studied at essentially different thermodynamical conditions. It is shown that correlation lengths of fields in any field zone are…
Understanding glasses is considered to be one of the most fundamental problems in statistical physics. A theoretical approach to unravel their universal properties is to consider the validity of equilibrium concepts such as temperature and…
We argue that for generic systems close to a critical point, an extended Fluctuation-Dissipation relation connects the low frequency non-linear (cubic) susceptibility to the four-point correlation function. In glassy systems, the latter…
