Intermittency in aging

L. Buisson, L. Bellon, S. Ciliberto

The fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) is measured on the dielectric properties of a gel (Laponite) and of a polymer glass (polycarbonate). For the gel it is found that during…

Temperature inversion in granular fluids under gravity

Rosa Ramirez, Rodrigo Soto

We study, via hydrodynamic equations, the granular temperature profile of a granular fluid under gravity and subjected to energy injection from a base. It is found that there exist…

Cellular automata and communication complexity

Christoph Durr, Ivan Rapaport, Guillaume Theyssier

The model of cellular automata is fascinating because very simple local rules can generate complex global behaviors. The relationship between local and global function is subject o…

Nanorheology : an Investigation of the Boundary Condition at Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interfaces

C. Cottin-Bizonne, S. Jurine, J. Baudry +3

t has been shown that the flow of a simple liquid over a solid surface can violate the so-called no-slip boundary condition. We investigate the flow of polar liquids, water and gly…

Large distance asymptotic behavior of the emptiness formation probability of the XXZ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain

N. Kitanine, J. M. Maillet, N. A. Slavnov +1

Using its multiple integral representation, we compute the large distance asymptotic behavior of the emptiness formation probability of the XXZ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain in the mas…

Ensemble Inequivalence in Mean-field Models of Magnetism

Julien Barre', David Mukamel, Stefano Ruffo

Mean-field models, while they can be cast into an {\it extensive} thermodynamic formalism, are inherently {\it non additive}. This is the basic feature which leads to {\it ensemble…

Aging in humid granular media

F. Restagno, C. Ursini, H. Gayvallet +1

Aging behavior is an important effect in the friction properties of solid surfaces. In this paper we investigate the temporal evolution of the static properties of a granular mediu…

Asymptotics of 6j and 10j symbols

Laurent Freidel, David Louapre

It is well known that the building blocks for state sum models of quantum gravity are given by 6j and 10j symbols. In this work we study the asymptotics of these symbols by using t…

Shear localization in a model glass

F. Varnik, L. Bocquet, J. -L. Barrat +1

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that a simple model of a glassy material exhibits the shear localization phenomenon observed in many complex fluids. At low shear rate…
