Aging on Parisi's Tree Typeset Using Revt E X

چکیده
We present a detailed study of simple 'tree' models for off equilibrium dynamics and aging in glassy systems. The simplest tree describes the landscape of a random energy model, whereas multifurcating trees occur in the solution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. An important ingredient taken from these models is the exponential distribution of deep free-energies, which translate into a power-law distribution of the residence time within metastable 'valleys'. These power law distributions have infinite mean in the spin-glass phase and this leads to the aging phenomenon. To each level of the tree are associated an overlap and the exponent of the time distribution. We solve these models for a finite (but arbitrary) number of levels and show that a two level tree accounts very well for many experimental observations (thermoremanent magnetisation, a.c susceptibility, second noise spectrum....). We introduce the idea that the deepest levels of the tree correspond to equilibrium dynamics whereas the upper levels correspond to aging. Temperature cycling experiments suggest that the borderline between the two is temperature dependent. The spin-glass transition corresponds to the temperature at which the uppermost level is put out of equilibrium but is subsequently 1 followed by a sequence of (dynamical) phase transitions corresponding to non equilibrium dynamics within deeper and deeper levels. We tentatively try to relate this 'tree' picture to the real space 'droplet' model, and speculate on how the final description of spin-glasses might look like. 2 Des journéesentì eres dans les arbres.

Matrix Models as Solvable Glass Models Typeset Using Revt E X
We present a family of solvable models of interacting particles in high di-mensionalities without quenched disorder. We show that the models have a glassy regime with aging eeects. The interaction is controlled by a parameter p. For p = 2 we obtain matrix models and for p > 2 `tensor' models. We concentrate on the cases p = 2 which we study analytically and numerically.
متن کاملEvidence of a Critical Time in Constrained Kinetic Ising Models Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We study the relaxational dynamics of the one-spin facilitated Ising model introduced by Fredrickson and Andersen. We show the existence of a critical time which separates an initial regime in which the relaxation is exponentially fast and aging is absent from a regime in which relaxation becomes slow and aging effects are present. The presence of this fast exponential process and its associate...
متن کاملAging at Criticality in Model C Dynamics Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We study the off-equilibrium two-point critical response and correlation functions for the relaxational dynamics with a coupling to a conserved density (Model C) of the O(N) vector model. They are determined in an ǫ = 4 − d expansion for vanishing momentum. We briefly discuss their scaling behaviors and the associated scaling forms are determined up to first order in ǫ. The corresponding fluctu...
متن کاملCosmological Constant and Supergravity Soft Terms * Typeset Using Revt E X
In supergravity models, the quantum correction to the vacuum energy can be of order M I , if the cutoff is of order the Planck mass M 2 P and Str M2 6= 0. Therefore, the tree level cosmological constant must be nonzero (probably negative). Since the current practice of calculating soft parameters in supergravity models assumes the vanishing tree level cosmological constant, the supergravity cal...
