Comment on ``Jamming Percolation and Glass Transitions in Lattice Models.''
M. Jeng, J. M. Schwarz
Toninelli, Biroli, and Fisher recently introduced the knights model, a correlated percolation system (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 035702 (2006)). They claimed to prove that the critical p…
Depinning with dynamic stress overshoots: A hybrid of critical and pseudohysteretic behavior
J. M. Schwarz, Daniel S. Fisher
A model of an elastic manifold driven through a random medium by an applied force F is studied focussing on the effects of inertia and elastic waves, in particular {\it stress over…
First passage time exponent for higher-order random walks:Using Levy flights
J. M. Schwarz, Ron Maimon
We present a heuristic derivation of the first passage time exponent for the integral of a random walk [Y. G. Sinai, Theor. Math. Phys. {\bf 90}, 219 (1992)]. Building on this deri…
Depinning with dynamic stress overshoots: Mean field theory
J. M. Schwarz, Daniel S. Fisher
An infinite-range model of an elastic manifold pulled through a random potential by an applied force is analyzed focusing on inertial effects. When the inertial parameter, ,…
