Aging has become the paradigm to describe dynamical behavior of glassy systems, and in particular spin glasses. Trap models have been introduced as simple caricatures of effective dynamics of such systems. In this Letter we show that in a wide class of mean field models and on a wide range of time scales, aging occurs precisely as predicted by the REM-like trap model of Bouchaud and Dean. This is the first rigorous result about aging in mean field models except for the REM and the spherical model.

We study chaotic size dependence of the low temperature correlations in the SK spin glass. We prove that as temperature scales to zero with volume, for any typical coupling realization, the correlations cycle through every spin configuration in every fixed observation window. This cannot happen in short-ranged models as there it would mean that every spin configuration is an infinite-volume ground state. Its occurrence in the SK model means that the commonly used `modified clustering notion of states sheds little light on the RSB solution of SK, and conversely, the RSB solution sheds little light on the thermodynamic structure of EA models.
Experiments on spin glasses can now make precise measurements of the exponent $z(T)$ governing the growth of glassy domains, while our computational capabilities allow us to make quantitative predictions for experimental scales. However, experimental and numerical values for $z(T)$ have differed. We use new simulations on the Janus II computer to resolve this discrepancy, finding a time-dependent $z(T, t_w)$, which leads to the experimental value through mild extrapolations. Furthermore, theoretical insight is gained by studying a crossover between the $T = T_c$ and $T = 0$ fixed points.
We investigate the properties of local minima of a recently introduced spin glass model of soft spins subjected to an anharmonic quartic local potential which serves as a model of low temperature molecular or soft glasses. We track the long time gradient descent dynamics in the glassy phase through dynamical mean field theory and show that spins are separated in two groups depending on their local stiffness. For spins having local stiffness that is right above its smallest possible value, the local fields distribution displays a depletion around the origin while those having a stiffness right below its largest possible value have a regular local fields distribution. We rationalize these findings through the replica method and show that the finite temperature phase transition to the glass phase is of continuous (full) replica-symmetry-breaking (RSB) type at low temperatures, down to zero temperature. Furthermore, marginal stability of the zero temperature fullRSB solution implies a linear pseudogap in the density of cavity fields for the spins with a local effective stiffness that is below a certain threshold. This generates a hole around the origin in the corresponding local field distribution. Those spins are natural candidates to model two level systems (TLS). The behavior of the cavity fields distribution for spins having stiffness close to the threshold one determines the tail of the low frequency density of states which is gapless. Therefore the corresponding spins are the natural candidates to model quasi localized modes (QLM) in glasses.
Critical slowing down dynamics of supercooled glass-forming liquids is usually understood at the mean-field level in the framework of Mode Coupling Theory, providing a two-time relaxation scenario and power-law behaviors of the time correlation function at dynamic criticality. In this work we derive critical slowing down exponents of spin-glass models undergoing discontinuous transitions by computing their Gibbs free energy and connecting the dynamic behavior to static in-state properties.

The recent description of the cooling through the glass transition in terms of irreversible structural Eshelby rearrangements with a single average fictive temperature is extended to a distribution of fictive temperatures around the average one. The extension has only little influence on the cooling scans, but turns out to be necessary to understand the heating back to equilibrium.
