An unexpected bridge between Black Hole sand Glasses

Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting

An unexpected bridge between Black Hole sand Glasses

  • Event time: 3:00pm until 4:00pm
  • Event date: 23rd November 2021
  • Speaker: Jorge Kurchan (École Normale Supérieure, Paris)
  • Location: Online - see email.

Event details

  • The SYK model and the important role of reparametrization invariance there
  • Brief recap of classical glass phenomenology and mean-fieldglass theory (Parisi and dynamics)
  • Reparametrization invariance in glassy dynamics. Why it is essential for the consistency of the construction - also: softness is physically relevant and measurable
  • For every glass there is a strange liquid (or metal)

(Jorge originally intended to present on the topic "Quantum fluctuation dissipation", but felt that would overlap with Laura Foini's talk in February next year.)
