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 …

Recent applications of dynamical mean-field methods

LF Cugliandolo - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Rich out-of-equilibrium collective dynamics of strongly interacting large assemblies emerge
in many areas of science. Some intriguing and not fully understood examples are the glassy …

A statistical model for tensor PCA

E Richard, A Montanari - Advances in neural information …, 2014 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Abstract We consider the Principal Component Analysis problem for large tensors of
arbitrary order k under a single-spike (or rank-one plus noise) model. On the one hand, we …

Spin-glass theory for pedestrians

T Castellani, A Cavagna - Journal of Statistical Mechanics …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
In these notes the main theoretical concepts and techniques in the field of mean-field spin
glasses are reviewed in a compact and pedagogical way, for the benefit of the graduate and …

Properties of equilibria and glassy phases of the random lotka-volterra model with demographic noise

A Altieri, F Roy, C Cammarota, G Biroli - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We study a reference model in theoretical ecology, the disordered Lotka-Volterra model for
ecological communities, in the presence of finite demographic noise. Our theoretical …

Random matrices and complexity of spin glasses

A Auffinger, GB Arous, J Černý - Communications on Pure and …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We give an asymptotic evaluation of the complexity of spherical p‐spin spin glass models
via random matrix theory. This study enables us to obtain detailed information about the …

Violation of the fluctuation–dissipation theorem in glassy systems: basic notions and the numerical evidence

A Crisanti, F Ritort - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
This review reports on the research done during past years on violations of the fluctuation–
dissipation theorem (FDT) in glassy systems. It is focused on the existence of a quasi …

Complex energy landscapes in spiked-tensor and simple glassy models: Ruggedness, arrangements of local minima, and phase transitions

V Ros, G Ben Arous, G Biroli, C Cammarota - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
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 …

The landscape of the spiked tensor model

GB Arous, S Mei, A Montanari… - Communications on Pure …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We consider the problem of estimating a large rank‐one tensor u⊗ k∈(ℝn)⊗ k, k≥ 3, in
Gaussian noise. Earlier work characterized a critical signal‐to‐noise ratio λ Bayes= O (1) …

Thermodynamics of glasses: A first principles computation

M Mézard, G Parisi - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a first principles computation of the thermodynamics of simple fragile glasses
starting from the two-body interatomic potential. A replica formulation translates this problem …
