Abstract

In this talk I present some of the recent theoretical results that have been obtained on glassy systems like spin glasses or structural glasses. The physical principles at the basis of the theory are explained in a simple language (without using replicas) and the results are compared with large scale numerical simulations. Finally we introduce the generalized fluctuation dissipation relation that can be directly tested in experiments with the present day technology.
