A microscopically motivated theory of glassy dynamics based on an underlying random first order transition is developed to explain the magnitude of free energy barriers for glassy …
We review recent theoretical progress on glassy dynamics, with special emphasis on the importance and universality of the aging regime, which is relevant to many experimental …
The subject of jamming and rheology is a broad and interdisciplinary one that is generating increasing interest. This book deals with one of the oldest unsolved problems in condensed …

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 …
We discuss the general link between mode-coupling like equations (which serve as the basis of some recent theories of supercooled liquids) and the dynamical equations …

Thermodynamics, a scientific discipline inherited from the 18th century, is facing new challenges in the description of nonequilibrium small (sometimes also called mesoscopic) …
