The Gardner transition is the transition that at mean-field level separates a stable glass
phase from a marginally stable phase. This transition has similarities with the de Almeida …

We study a two-state model of attractive hard rods using the transfer matrix method, where
the centers of the particles are confined to a straight line, but the orientations of the rods can …

The thermodynamic properties of disks moving in a channel sufficiently narrow that they can
collide only with their nearest neighbors can be solved exactly by determining the …

Using transfer matrices up to next-nearest-neighbour interactions, we examine the structural
correlations of quasi-one-dimensional systems of hard disks confined by two parallel lines …

We use an exact transfer-matrix approach to compute the equilibrium properties of a system
of hard disks of diameter σ confined to a two-dimensional channel of width 1.95 σ at constant …

Geometrical frustration arises when the lattice geometry prevents local interaction energies
from minimizing simultaneously. Whether and how geometrically frustrated spins or charges …

We have studied a class of marginally jammed states in a system of hard disks confined in a
narrow channel—a quasi-one-dimensional system—whose exponents are not those …

We provide a comprehensive picture of the jamming phase diagram by connecting the
athermal, granular ensemble of jammed states and the equilibrium fluid through the inherent …

We present mode-coupling theory (MCT) results for densely packed hard-sphere fluids
confined between two parallel walls and compare them quantitatively to computer …

Disks moving in a narrow channel have many features in common with the glassy behavior
of hard spheres in three dimensions. In this paper we study the caging behavior of the disks …
