Static correlations functions and domain walls in glass-forming liquids: the case of a sandwich geometry

G. Gradenigo, R. Trozzo, A. Cavagna +2

The problem of measuring nontrivial static correlations in deeply supercooled liquids made recently some progress thanks to the introduction of amorphous boundary conditions, in wh…

Equilibrium fluid-solid coexistence of hard spheres

L. A. Fernandez, V. Martin-Mayor, B. Seoane +1

We present a tethered Monte Carlo simulation of the crystallization of hard spheres. Our method boosts the traditional umbrella sampling to the point of making practical the study…

On the high-density expansion for Euclidean Random Matrices

T. S. Grigera, V. Martin-Mayor, G. Parisi +2

Diagrammatic techniques to compute perturbatively the spectral properties of Euclidean Random Matrices in the high-density regime are introduced and discussed in detail. Such techn…

Numerical simulations of liquids with amorphous boundary conditions

A. Cavanga, T. S. Grigera, P. Verrocchio

It has recently become clear that simulations under amorphpous boundary conditions (ABCs) can provide valuable information on the dynamics and thermodynamics of disordered systems…

Dynamic relaxation of a liquid cavity under amorphous boundary conditions

Andrea Cavagna, Tomas S. Grigera, Paolo Verrocchio

The growth of cooperatively rearranging regions was invoked long ago by Adam and Gibbs to explain the slowing down of glass-forming liquids. The lack of knowledge about the nature…

A phase-separation perspective on dynamic heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids

C. Cammarota, A. Cavagna, I. Giardina +4

We study dynamic heterogeneities in a model glass-former whose overlap with a reference configuration is constrained to a fixed value. The system phase-separates into regions of sm…
