Low temperature amorphous solids: mean field theory and beyond

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2022-12-23 v1

Abstract

Amorphous solids at low temperature display unusual features which have been escaped a clear and unified comprehension. In recent years a mean field theory of amorphous solids constructed in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions has been proposed. I will briefly review what is the outcome of this theory focusing the low temperature phase and discuss some perspectives to go beyond the mean field limit.
