A Crash Course on Aging

Abstract

In these lecture notes I describe some of the main theoretical ideas emerged to explain the aging dynamics. This is meant to be a very short introduction to aging dynamics and no previous knowledge is assumed. I will go through simple examples that allow one to grasp the main results and predictions.

Lecture Notes (22 pages) given at "Unifying Concepts in Glass Physics III", Bangalore (2004); to be published in JSTAT
