Crystal vs glass formation in lattice models with many coexisting ordered phases

Mario J. de Oliveira, Alberto Petri, Tania Tome

We present here new evidence that after a quench the planar Potts model on the square lattice relaxes towards a glassy state if the number of states q is larger than four. By extra…
