Slow Dynamics and the Geometry of Jammed Packings

Eddie Bautista, Eric Corwin

Saddle points in the energy landscape of granular packings dominate the discrete steepest descent dynamics and ultimately determine the path that an out of mechanical equilibrium p…

Numerically Discovered Inherent States are Always Protocol Dependent in Jammed Packings

Eddie Bautista, Eric I. Corwin

The energy landscape for soft sphere packings exists in a high-dimensional space and plays host to an astronomical number of local minima in a hierarchical and ultrametric arrangem…

Universal Fluctuations in the Tail Probability for d=2 Random Walks in Space-Time Random Environments

Franscesca Ark, Jacob B. Hass, Eric I. Corwin

Many diffusive systems involve correlated random walkers due to a shared environment. Such systems can be modeled as random walks in random environments (RWRE). These models differ…

Coordinate-energy transformation and the one-point function for the Heisenberg-Ising XXZ spin-1/2 chain on the ring

Eric I. Corwin, Nikolaus Elsaesser, Axel Saenz

We provide explicit formulas to diagonalize the Hamiltonian for the Heisenberg-Ising XXZ spin-1/2 chain on a discrete ring. Two distinguished bases for the Hilbert space include th…

Universal KPZ Fluctuations for Moderate Deviations of Random Walks in Random Environments

Jacob Hass, Hindy Drillick, Ivan Corwin +1

The theory of diffusion seeks to describe the motion of particles in a chaotic environment. Classical theory models individual particles as independent random walkers, effectively…

Measurements of extreme first passage times in photon transport

Aileen N. Carroll-Godfrey, Eric I. Corwin

Photon transport through turbid media has typically been modeled through diffusion or telegraph equations. These models describe behavior of the average, or typical, photon with re…

Extreme Diffusion Measures Statistical Fluctuations of the Environment

Jacob Hass, Hindy Drillick, Ivan Corwin +1

We consider many-particle diffusion in one spatial dimension modeled as Random Walks in a Random Environment (RWRE). A shared short-range space-time random environment determines t…

First Passage Time for Many Particle Diffusion in Space-Time Random Environments

Jacob B. Hass, Ivan Corwin, Eric I. Corwin

The first passage time for a single diffusing particle has been studied extensively, but the first passage time of a system of many diffusing particles, as is often the case in phy…

Anomalous Fluctuations of Extremes in Many-Particle Diffusion

Jacob B. Hass, Aileen N. Carroll-Godfrey, Eric I. Corwin +1

In many-particle diffusions, particles that move the furthest and fastest can play an outsized role in physical phenomena. A theoretical understanding of the behavior of such extre…

Hyperuniform Jammed Sphere Packings Have Anomalous Material Properties

Jack R. Dale, James D. Sartor, R. Cameron Dennis +1

A spatial distribution is hyperuniform if it has local density fluctuations that vanish in the limit of long length scales. Hyperuniformity is a well known property of both crystal…

Emergence of zero modes in disordered solids under periodic tiling

R. Cameron Dennis, Varda F. Hagh, Eric I. Corwin

In computational models of particle packings with periodic boundary conditions, it is assumed that the packing is attached to exact copies of itself in all possible directions. The…

Predicting Defects in Soft Sphere Packings Near Jamming Using The Force Network Ensemble

James D. Sartor, Eric I. Corwin

Amorphous systems of soft particles above jamming have more contacts than are needed to achieve mechanical equilibrium. The force network of a granular system with a fixed contact…

Free-then-freeze: transient learning degrees of freedom for introducing function in materials

Varda F. Hagh, Sidney R. Nagel, Andrea J. Liu +2

The introduction of transient learning degrees of freedom into a system can lead to novel material design and training protocols that guide a system into a desired metastable state…

Long-Range Anomalous Decay of the Correlation in Jammed Packings

Paolo Rissone, Eric I. Corwin, Giorgio Parisi

We numerically study the structure of the interactions occurring in three-dimensional systems of hard spheres at jamming, focusing on the large-scale behavior. Given the fundamenta…

Finite size effects in the microscopic critical properties of jammed configurations: A comprehensive study of the effects of different types of disorder

Patrick Charbonneau, Eric I. Corwin, R. Cameron Dennis +4

Jamming criticality defines a universality class that includes systems as diverse as glasses, colloids, foams, amorphous solids, constraint satisfaction problems, neural networks,…
