The slow non-equilibrium dynamics of the Edwards-Anderson spin glass model on a hierarchical lattice is studied by means of a coarse-grained description based on renormalization concepts. We evaluate the isothermal aging properties and show…
Using the non-interacting Anderson tight-binding model on the Bethe lattice as a toy model for the many-body quantum dynamics, we propose a novel and transparent theoretical explanation of the anomalously slow dynamics that emerges in the…
Tackling the low-temperature fate of supercooled liquids is challenging due to the immense timescales involved, which prevent equilibration and lead to the operational glass transition. Relating glassy behaviour to an underlying,…
We study the Glauber dynamics of simple spin systems to identify dynamical scenarios which may be of relevance for the deconfining phase transition in heavy ion collisions.
A model glass is considered with one type of fast ($\beta$-type) of processes, and one type of slow processes ($\alpha$-type). On time-scales where the fast ones are in equilibrium, the slow ones have a dynamics that resembles the one of…
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…
We study heterogeneities in a binary Lennard-Jones system below the glass transition using molecular dynamics simulations. We identify mobile and immobile particles and measure their distribution of vibrational amplitudes. For temperatures…
Similarities between fragile glasses and spin glasses (SG) suggest the study of frustrated spin model to understand the complex dynamics of glasses above the glass transition. We consider a frustrated spin model with Ising spins and s-state…
The interrelation of dynamic processes active on separated time-scales in glasses and viscous liquids is investigated using a model displaying two time-scale bifurcations both between fast and secondary relaxation and between secondary and…
The binary hard-sphere mixture is one of the simplest representations of a many-body system with competing time and length scales. This model is relevant to fundamentally understand both the structural and dynamical properties of materials,…
The spin glass behavior near zero temperature is a complicated matter. To get an easier access to the spin glass order parameter $Q(x)$ and, at the same time, keep track of $Q_{ab}$, its matrix aspect, and hence of the Hessian controlling…
Via Monte Carlo studies of the frustrated XY or classical planar model we demonstrate the possibility of a finite (nonzero) temperature spin/gauge glass phase in two dimensions. Examples of both periodic and quasiperiodic two dimensional…
Kinetic lattice-gas models display fragile glass behavior, in spite of their trivial Gibbs-Boltzmann measure. This suggests that the nature of glass transition might be, at least in some cases, understood in purely kinetic or dynamical…
As shown by early studies on mean-field models of the glass transition, the geometrical features of the energy landscape provide fundamental information on the dynamical transition at the Mode-Coupling temperature $T_d$. We show that active…
Recent experiments and computer simulations show that supercooled liquids around the glass transition temperature are "dynamically heterogeneous" [1]. Such heterogeneity is expected from the random first order transition theory of the glass…
Slow relaxation and glassiness have been the focus of extensive research attention, along with popular and technological interest, for many decades. While much understanding has been attained through mean-field and mode-coupling models,…
A model glass with fast and slow processes is studied. The statics is simple and the facilitated slow dynamics is exactly solvable. The main features of a fragile glass take place: Kauzmann transition, Vogel-Fulcher law, Adam-Gibbs relation…
Spin-glasses are natural Gibbs distributions that have been studied in Theoretical CS for many decades. Recently, they have been gaining attention from the community as they emerge naturally in neural computation and learning, network…
Dynamical heterogeneities -- strong fluctuations near the glass transition -- are believed to be crucial to explain much of the glass transition phenomenology. One possible hypothesis for their origin is that they emerge from soft…
We show that a glass transition, signaled by a peak in the specific heat vs. temperature, can occur because a glassy system that shows no signs of aging progresses so slowly through the energy landscape that the time needed to obtain an…
