Freezing of dynamical exponents in low dimensional random media

Abstract

A particle in a random potential with logarithmic correlations in dimensions $d=1,2$ is shown to undergo a dynamical transition at $T_{dyn}>0$. In $d=1$ exact results demonstrate that $T_{dyn}=T_c$, the static glass transition temperature, and that the dynamical exponent changes from $z(T)=2+2(T_c/T{)}^2$ at high temperature to $z(T)=4T_c/T$ in the glass phase. The same formulae are argued to hold in $d=2$. Dynamical freezing is also predicted in the 2D random gauge XY model and related systems. In $d=1$ a mapping between dynamics and statics is unveiled and freezing involves barriers as well as valleys. Anomalous scaling occurs in the creep dynamics.
