Out-of-equilibrium dynamical equations of infinite-dimensional particle systems I. The isotropic case

We consider the Langevin dynamics of a many-body system of interacting particles in d dimensions, in a very general setting suitable to model several out-of-equilibrium situations, such as liquid and glass rheology, active self-propelled particles, and gla ...

Thermal origin of quasilocalized excitations in glasses

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Marko Popovic, Wencheng Ji

Key aspects of glasses are controlled by the presence of excitations in which a group of particles can rearrange. Surprisingly, recent observations indicate that their density is dramatically reduced and their size decreases as the temperature of the super ...

Supersymmetries in nonequilibrium Langevin dynamics

Elisabeth Agoritsas

Stochastic phenomena are often described by Langevin equations, which serve as a mesoscopic model for microscopic dynamics. It has been known since the work of Parisi and Sourlas that reversible (or equilibrium) dynamics present supersymmetries (SUSYs). Th ...

Mean-field dynamics of infinite-dimensional particle systems: global shear versus random local forcing

Elisabeth Agoritsas

In infinite dimensions, many-body systems of pairwise interacting particles provide exact analytical benchmarks for the features of amorphous materials, such as the stress--strain curve of glasses under quasistatic shear. Here, instead of global shear, we ...

A numerical study of the statistics of roughness parameters for fluctuating interfaces

Elisabeth Agoritsas

Self-affine rough interfaces are ubiquitous in experimental systems, and display characteristic scaling properties as a signature of the nature of disorder in their supporting medium, i.e. of the statistical features of its heterogeneities. Different metho ...

From bulk descriptions to emergent interfaces: Connecting the Ginzburg-Landau and elastic-line models

Elisabeth Agoritsas

Controlling interfaces is highly relevant from a technological point of view. However, their rich and complex behavior makes them very difficult to describe theoretically, and hence to predict. In this work, we establish a procedure to connect two levels o ...

A direct link between active matter and sheared granular systems

Elisabeth Agoritsas

The similarity in mechanical properties of dense active matter and sheared amorphous solids has been noted in recent years without a rigorous examination of the underlying mechanism. We develop a mean-field model that predicts that their critical behavior— ...

Field-dependent roughness of moving domain walls in a Pt/Co/Pt magnetic thin film

Elisabeth Agoritsas

The creep motion of domain walls driven by external fields in magnetic thin films is described by universal features related to the underlying depinning transition. One key parameter in this description is the roughness exponent characterizing the growth o ...

Out-of-equilibrium dynamical equations of infinite-dimensional particle systems. II. The anisotropic case under shear strain

Elisabeth Agoritsas

As an extension of the isotropic setting presented in the companion paper Agoritsas et al (2019 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 52 144002), we consider the Langevin dynamics of a many-body system of pairwise interacting particles in d dimensions, submitted to an ...

Mean-field description for the architecture of low-energy excitations in glasses

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Wencheng Ji

In amorphous materials, groups of particles can rearrange locally into a new stable configuration. Such elementary excitations are key as they determine the response to external stresses, as well as to thermal and quantum fluctuations. Yet, understanding w ...

Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Elisabeth Agoritsas

Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the universality class to ...
