Kramers equation and supersymmetry
Julien Tailleur, Sorin Tanase-Nicola, Jorge Kurchan
Hamilton's equations with noise and friction possess a hidden supersymmetry, valid for time-independent as well as periodically time-dependent systems. It is used to derive topolog…
Supersymmetry, replica and dynamic treatments of disordered systems: a parallel presentation
Jorge Kurchan
I briefly review the three nonperturbative methods for the treatment of disordered systems -- supersymmetry, replicas and dynamics -- with a parallel presentation that highlights t…
Thermodynamic approach to dense granular matter: a numerical realization of a decisive experiment
Hernan A. Makse, Jorge Kurchan
Years ago Edwards proposed a thermodynamic description of dense granular matter, in which the grains (the `atoms' of the system) interact with inelastic forces. The approach is int…
Strong Soret effect in one dimension
Adan Garriga, Jorge Kurchan, Felix Ritort
We consider a one-dimensional gas of two kinds of particles with different masses interacting through short range interactions. The system exhibits an extreme form of the Soret eff…
Recent theories of glasses as out of equilibrium systems
Jorge Kurchan
We discuss a theoretical approach to structural glasses as they happen in real situations. Older ideas based on `configurational entropy', on `fictive temperatures' and on Edwards'…
A scenario for the dynamics in the small intropy production limit
Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Jorge Kurchan
We present a scenario for the nonequilibrium dynamics in the limit of small entropy production. We discuss (i) the appearence of different time-scales, (ii) the modification of the…
