Mixing time bounds for oriented kinetically constrained spin models ∗
We analyze the mixing time of a class of oriented kinetically constrained spin models (KCMs) on a d-dimensional lattice of n sites. A typical example is the North-East model, a 0-1 spin system on the two-dimensional integer lattice that evolves according to the following rule: whenever a site’s southerly and westerly nearest neighbours have spin 0, with rate one it resets its own spin by tossin...
متن کاملKinetically Constrained Models
In this chapter we summarize recent developments in the study of kinetically constrained models (KCMs) as models for glass formers. After recalling the definition of the KCMs which we cover we study the possible occurrence of ergodicity breaking transitions and discuss in some detail how, before any such transition occurs, relaxation timescales depend on the relevant control parameter (density ...
متن کاملGlassy dynamics of kinetically constrained models
We review the use of kinetically constrained models (KCMs) for the study of dynamics in glassy systems. The characteristic feature of KCMs is that they have trivial, often non-interacting, equilibrium behaviour but interesting slow dynamics due to restrictions on the allowed transitions between configurations. The basic question which KCMs ask is therefore howmuch glassy physics can be understo...
متن کاملCriterion for condensation in kinetically constrained one-dimensional transport models.
We study condensation in one-dimensional transport models with a kinetic constraint. The kinetic constraint results in clustering of immobile vehicles; these clusters can grow to macroscopic condensates, indicating the onset of dynamic phase separation between free-flowing and arrested traffic. We investigate analytically the conditions under which this occurs and derive a necessary and suffici...
متن کاملLifetime of dynamic heterogeneity in strong and fragile kinetically constrained spin models
Kinetically constrained spin models are schematic coarse-grained models for the glass transition which represent an efficient theoretical tool to study detailed spatio-temporal aspects of dynamic heterogeneity in supercooled liquids. Here, we study how spatially correlated dynamic domains evolve with time and compare our results to various experimental and numerical investigations. We find that...
