Absolute Rate Theories of Epigenetic Stability
Aleksandra M. Walczak, José N. Onuchic, Peter G. Wolynes
Spontaneous switching events in most characterized genetic switches are rare, resulting in extremely stable epigenetic properties. We show how simple arguments lead to theories of…
The Shapes of Cooperatively Rearranging Regions in Glass Forming Liquids
Jacob D. Stevenson, Joerg Schmalian, Peter G. Wolynes
The shapes of cooperatively rearranging regions in glassy liquids change from being compact at low temperatures to fractal or ``stringy'' as the dynamical crossover temperature fro…
Electrodynamics of Amorphous Media at Low Temperatures
Vassiliy Lubchenko, Robert J. Silbey, Peter G. Wolynes
Amorphous solids exhibit intrinsic, local structural transitions, that give rise to the well known quantum-mechanical two-level systems at low temperatures. We explain the microsco…
The Microscopic Quantum Theory of Low Temperature Amorphous Solids
Vassiliy Lubchenko, Peter G. Wolynes
The quantum excitations in glasses have long presented a set of puzzles for condensed matter physicists. A common view is that they are largely disordered analogs of elementary exc…
Bridging the Gap Between the Mode Coupling and the Random First Order Transition Theories of Structural Relaxation in Liquids
Sarika Maitra Bhattacharyya, Biman Bagchi, Peter G. Wolynes
A unified treatment of structural relaxation in a deeply supercooled glassy liquid is developed which extends the existing mode coupling theory (MCT) by incorporating the effects o…
Thermodynamic- Kinetic Correlations in Supercooled Liquids- A Critical Survey of Experimental Data and Predictions of the Random First Order Transition Theory of Glasses
Jacob D. Stevenson, Peter G. Wolynes
Thermodynamics and kinetics are thought to be linked in glass transitions. The quantitative predictions of -relaxation activation barriers provided by the theory of glasses…
