Diffusion on a diluted hypercube has been proposed as a model for glassy relaxation and is an example of the more general class of stochastic processes on graphs. In this article we determine numerically through large scale simulations the eigenvalue spectra for this stochastic process and calculate explicitly the time evolution for the autocorrelation function and for the return probability, all at criticality, with hypercube dimensions $N$ up to N=28. We show that at long times both relaxation functions can be described by stretched exponentials with exponent 1/3 and a characteristic relaxation time which grows exponentially with dimension $N$. The numerical eigenvalue spectra are consistent with analytic predictions for a generic sparse network model.

We propose an atomistic model for correlated particle dynamics in liquids and glasses predicting both slow stretched-exponential relaxation (SER) and fast compressed-exponential relaxation (CER). The model is based on the key concept of elastically interacting local relaxation events. SER is related to slowing down of dynamics of local relaxation events as a result of this interaction, whereas CER is related to the avalanche-like dynamics in the low-temperature glass state. The model predicts temperature dependence of SER and CER seen experimentally and recovers the simple, Debye, exponential decay at high temperature. Finally, we reproduce SER to CER crossover across the glass transition recently observed in metallic glasses.
We present a theoretical discussion of the reversible parking problem, which appears to be one of the simplest systems exhibiting glassy behavior. The existence of slow relaxation, nontrivial fluctuations, and an annealing effect can all be understood by recognizing that two different time scales are present in the problem. One of these scales corresponds to the fast filling of existing voids, the other is associated with collective processes that overcome partial ergodicity breaking. The results of the theory are in a good agreement with simulation data; they provide a simple qualitative picture for understanding recent granular compaction experiments and other glassy systems.
We study the $pm J$ transverse-field Ising spin glass model at zero temperature on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices and in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model, by series expansions around the strong field limit. In the SK model and in high-dimensions our calculated critical properties are in excellent agreement with the exact mean-field results, surprisingly even down to dimension $d = 6$ which is below the upper critical dimension of $d=8$. In contrast, in lower dimensions we find a rich singular behavior consisting of critical and Griffiths-McCoy singularities. The divergence of the equal-time structure factor allows us to locate the critical coupling where the correlation length diverges, implying the onset of a thermodynamic phase transition. We find that the spin-glass susceptibility as well as various power-moments of the local susceptibility become singular in the paramagnetic phase $textit{before}$ the critical point. Griffiths-McCoy singularities are very strong in two-dimensions but decrease rapidly as the dimension increases. We present evidence that high enough powers of the local susceptibility may become singular at the pure-system critical point.
We study sums of directed paths on a hierarchical lattice where each bond has either a positive or negative sign with a probability $p$. Such path sums $J$ have been used to model interference effects by hopping electrons in the strongly localized regime. The advantage of hierarchical lattices is that they include path crossings, ignored by mean field approaches, while still permitting analytical treatment. Here, we perform a scaling analysis of the controversial ``sign transition using Monte Carlo sampling, and conclude that the transition exists and is second order. Furthermore, we make use of exact moment recursion relations to find that the moments $<J^n>$ always determine, uniquely, the probability distribution $P(J)$. We also derive, exactly, the moment behavior as a function of $p$ in the thermodynamic limit. Extrapolations ($nto 0$) to obtain $<ln J>$ for odd and even moments yield a new signal for the transition that coincides with Monte Carlo simulations. Analysis of high moments yield interesting ``solitonic structures that propagate as a function of $p$. Finally, we derive the exact probability distribution for path sums $J$ up to length L=64 for all sign probabilities.
The critical properties of the spin-1 two-dimensional Blume-Capel model on directed and undi- rected random lattices with quenched connectivity disorder is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. The critical temperature, as well as the critical point exponents are obtained. For the undi- rected case this random system belongs to the same universality class as the regular two-dimensional model. However, for the directed random lattice one has a second-order phase transition for q < qc and a first-order phase transition for q > qc, where qc is the critical rewiring probability. The critical exponents for q < qc was calculated and they do not belong to the same universality class as the regular two-dimensional ferromagnetic model.
