Marginal stability is the notion that stability is achieved, but only barely so. This property constrains the ensemble of configurations explored at low temperature in a variety of systems, including spin, electron and structural glasses. A…
We present a critical analysis of the Sompolinsky theory of equilibrium dynamics. By using the spherical $2+p$ spin glass model we test the asymptotic static limit of the Sompolinsky solution showing that it fails to yield a…

In a recent letter Marinari et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1698 (1998)] introduced a new method to study spin glass transitions and argued that by probing replica symmetry (RS) as opposed to time reversal symmetry (TRS), their method…

Spin glasses are paradigmatic models that deliver concepts relevant for a variety of systems. However, rigorous analytical results are difficult to obtain for spin-glass models, in particular for realistic short-range models. Therefore…

The theory of slow manifolds is an important tool in the study of deterministic dynamical systems, giving a practical method by which to reduce the number of relevant degrees of freedom in a model, thereby often resulting in a considerable…
Glass transition where viscosity of liquids increases dramatically upon decrease of temperature without any major change in structural properties, remains one of the most challenging problems in condensed matter physics (Cavagna, 2009;…
In this paper we review some recent rigorous results that provide an essentially complete solution of a class of spin glass models introduced by Derrida in the 1980ies. These models are based on Gaussian random processes on $\{-1,1\}^N$…
We investigate an XY spin-glass model in which both spins and interactions (or couplings) evolve in time, but with widely separated time-scales. For large times this model can be solved using replica theory, requiring two levels of…
We investigate an XY spin-glass model in which both spins and couplings evolve in time: the spins change rapidly according to Glauber-type rules, whereas the couplings evolve slowly with a dynamics involving spin correlations and Gaussian…
We present a first principle scheme to compute the rigidity, i. e. the shear-modulus of structural glasses at finite temperatures using the cloned liquid theory, which combines the replica theory and the liquid theory. With the aid of the…
In this review we define and discuss metastates, mathematical tools with general applicability to thermodynamic systems which are particularly useful when working with disordered or inhomogeneous short-range systems. In an infinite such…

Some questions concerning the calculation of the number of ``physical'' (metastable) states or complexity of the spherical $p$-spin spin glass model are reviewed and examined further. Particular attention is focused on the general…
