Log-correlated Random Energy Models with extensive free energy fluctuations: pathologies caused by rare events as signatures of phase transitions
Xiangyu Cao, Yan V. Fyodorov, Pierre Le Doussal
We address systematically an apparent non-physical behavior of the free energy moment generating function for several instances of the logarithmically correlated models: the Fracti…
Soft modes and strain redistribution in continuous models of amorphous plasticity: the Eshelby paradigm, and beyond?
Xiangyu Cao, Alexandre Nicolas, Denny Trimcev +1
The deformation of disordered solids relies on swift and localised rearrangements of particles. The inspection of soft vibrational modes can help predict the locations of these rea…
Incomplete thermalization from trap-induced integrability breaking: lessons from classical hard rods
Xiangyu Cao, Vir B. Bulchandani, Joel E. Moore
We study a one-dimensional gas of hard rods trapped in a harmonic potential, which breaks integrability of the hard-rod interaction in a non-uniform way. We explore the consequence…
Disordered statistical physics in low dimensions: extremes, glass transition, and localization
Xiangyu Cao
This thesis presents original results in two domains of disordered statistical physics: logarithmic correlated Random Energy Models (logREMs), and localization transitions in long-…
Localization of soft modes at the depinning transition
Xiangyu Cao, Sebastian Bouzat, Alejandro B. Kolton +1
We characterize the soft modes of the dynamical matrix at the depinning transition, and compare it with the properties of the Anderson model (and long--range generalizations). The…
