We derive an equation for the glass relaxation. In the derivation, the Zwanzig-Mori projection method is not applied explicitly, which makes our equation different from the mode coupling theory. Due to the nonlinearity, it is difficult to…
We present an analysis of the data on aging in the three-dimensional Edwards Anderson spin glass model with nearest neighbor interactions, which is well suited for the comparison with a recently developed dynamical mean field theory. We…

Turbulence problem is often considered as "the last unsolved problem of classical physics". It is due to strong interaction between velocity and/or velocity gradient fluctuations, a high Reynolds number flow is a fascinating mixture of…
By means of a simple model system, the total volume fluctuations of a tapped granular material in the steady state are studied. In the limit of a system with a large number of particles, they are found to be Gaussian distributed, and…
We review the approach to glasses based on the replica formalism. The replica approach presented here is a first principle's approach which aims at deriving the main glass properties from the microscopic Hamiltonian. In contrast to the old…
We study the Kelvinons: monopole ring solutions to the Euler equations, regularized as the Burgers vortex in the viscous core. There is finite anomalous dissipation in the inviscid limit. However, in the anomalous Hamiltonian, some terms…
Agitated granular media have a rich rheology: they exhibit Newtonian behavior at low shear rate and density, develop a yield stress at high density, and cross over to Bagnoldian shear thickening when sheared rapidly -- making them…
The nonlinear rheological properties of dense suspensions are discussed within simplified models, suggested by a recent first principles approach to the model of Brownian particles in a constant-velocity-gradient solvent flow. Shear…

The spin glasses show intriguing characteristic features that are not well understood yet, as for instance its aging, rejuvenation and memory effects. Here a model based on a stretched exponential decay of its magnetization is proposed,…
