Multiplex networks consist of a fixed set of nodes connected by several sets of edges which are generated separately and correspond to different networks ("layers"). Here, the Ising model on multiplex networks with two layers is considered,…

We show that a fluid under strong spatially periodic confinement displays a glass transition within mode-coupling theory (MCT) at a much lower density than the corresponding bulk system. We use fluctuating hydrodynamics, with confinement…
Our theoretical understanding of glassy dynamics is notoriously incomplete, and it is even more so when the glassy systems are driven out of equilibrium. An extreme way to drive a system out of equilibrium is to introduce nonequilibrium…
The low temperature phase of discontinuous mean-field spin glasses is characterized by the appearance of an exponential number of metastable states. Which ones among these states dominate the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of these systems? In…
We propose that glass-forming liquids are intrinsically under the influences of both fluctuating interactions and random fields well-known in the field of spin systems. This is due to the frustration between the isotropic and anisotropic…

The theory of glassy fluctuations can be formulated in terms of disordered effective potentials. While the properties of the average potentials are well understood, the study of the fluctuations has been so far quite limited. Close to the…
We have numerically investigated the mean-field dynamics of the the $p$-spin interaction spin glass model with p=3 using an efficient method of integrating the dynamic equations. We find a new time scale associated with the onset of the…
We consider thermodynamic and dynamic phase transitions in plaquette spin models of glasses. The thermodynamic transitions involve coupled (annealed) replicas of the model. We map these coupled-replica systems to a single replica in a…
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;…
