We present evidence in favor of the possibility of treating an out-of-equilibrium supercooled simple liquid as a system in quasi-equilibrium. Two different temperatures, one controlled by the external bath and one internally selected by the…
We derive an exact expression of the response function to an infinitesimal magnetic field for an Ising-Glauber-like model with arbitrary exchange couplings. The result is expressed in terms of thermodynamic averages and does not depend on…
A quantum mechanical model is used to derive a generalized Landau-Lifshitz equation for a magnetic moment, including fluctuations and dissipation. The model reproduces the Gilbert-Brown form of the equation in the classical limit. The…
We study the off equilibrium dynamics of a mean field disordered systems which can be interpreted both as a long range interaction spin glass and as a particle in a random potential. The statics of this problem is well known and exhibits a…
We review a statistical picture of the glassy state derived from the analysis of the off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations. We define an ultra-long time limit where ``one time quantities'' are close to equilibrium while response…
We present a dynamical description of slow relaxation processes based on the extension of Onsager's fluctuation theory to systems in local quasi-equilibrium. A non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation for the conditional probability density is…
We study the off-equilibrium response and correlation functions and the corresponding fluctuation-dissipation ratio for a purely dissipative relaxation of an O(N) symmetric vector model (Model A) below its upper critical dimension. The…

We study the real-time dynamics of quantum models with long-range interactions coupled to a heat-bath within the closed-time path-integral formalism. We show that quantum fluctuations depress the transition temperature. In the subcritical…
A fluctuation relation for aging systems is introduced, and verified by extensive numerical simulations. It is based on the hypothesis of partial equilibration over phase space regions in a scenario of entropy-driven relaxation. The…
We introduce a schematic non-linear diffusion model where density fluctuations induce a rich out of equilibrium dynamics. The properties of the model are studied by numerical simulations and analytically in a mean field approximation. At…
We review recent theoretical progress on glassy dynamics, with special emphasis on the importance and universality of the ``aging regime'', which is relevant to many experimental situations. The three main subjects which we address are: (i)…
We show that for stochastic dynamical systems out of equilibrium the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation equality is bounded by a function of the entropy production. The result applies to a much wider situation than `near equilibrium',…
We adapt the non-linear $\sigma$ model to study the nonequilibrium critical dynamics of O(n) symmetric ferromagnetic system. Using the renormalization group analysis in $d=2+\epsilon$ dimensions we investigate the pure relaxation of the…
We test the quasi-equilibrium picture of the aging dynamics -strictly valid in the asymptotic dynamical regime of aging systems- in the pre-asymptotic aging regime of the two dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass model. We compare the…
Aging effects in the two-time correlation function and the response function after a quench from a high temperature to some low temperature are considered for a simple kinetic random energy model exhibiting stretched exponential relaxation.…
Recent experimental advances in ultrafast phenomena have triggered renewed interest in the dynamics of correlated quantum systems away from equilibrium. We review nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory studies of both the transient and…

We corroborate the idea of a close connection between replica symmetry breaking and aging in the linear response function for a large class of finite-dimensional systems with short-range interactions. In these system, characterized by a…
In the past few years systems with slow dynamics have attracted considerable theoretical and experimental interest. Ageing phenomena are observed during this ever-lasting non-equilibrium evolution. A simple instance of such a behaviour is…
