Supercooled liquids for pedestrians
A Cavagna - Physics Reports, 2009 - Elsevier
When we lower the temperature of a liquid, at some point we meet a first order phase
transition to the crystal. Yet, under certain conditions it is possible to keep the system in its …

Complex energy landscapes in spiked-tensor and simple glassy models: Ruggedness, arrangements of local minima, and phase transitions
We study rough high-dimensional landscapes in which an increasingly stronger preference
for a given configuration emerges. Such energy landscapes arise in glass physics and …
