Abstract
No known analytic framework precisely explains all the phenomena observed in jamming. The replica theory for glass and jamming is a mean field theory which attempts to do so by working in the limit of infinite dimensions, such that correlations between neighbors are negligible. As such, results from this mean field theory are not guaranteed to be observed in finite dimensions. However, many results in mean field for jamming have been shown to be exact or nearly exact in low dimensions. This suggests that the infinite dimensional limit is not necessary to obtain these results. In this paper, we perform precision measurements of jamming scaling relationships between pressure, excess packing fraction, and number of excess contacts from dimensions 2-10 in order to extract the prefactors to these scalings. While these prefactors should be highly sensitive to finite dimensional corrections, we find the mean field predictions for these prefactors to be exact in low dimensions. Thus the mean field approximation is not necessary for deriving these prefactors. We present an exact, first principles derivation for one, leaving the other as an open question.
