The free energy landscape of mean field marginal glasses is ultrametric. We demonstrate that this feature remains in finite three dimensional systems by finding sets of minima which are nearby in configuration space. By calculating the distance between these nearby minima, we produce a small region of the distance metric. This metric exhibits a clear hierarchical structure and shows the signature of an ultrametric space. That such a hierarchy exists for the jamming energy landscape provides direct evidence for the existence of a marginal phase along the zero temperature jamming line.

We present the study of the landscape structure of athermal soft spheres both as a function of the packing fraction and of the energy. We find that, on approaching the jamming transition, the number of different configurations available to the system has a steep increase and that a hierarchical organization of the landscape emerges. We use the knowledge of the structure of the landscape to predict the values of thermodynamic observables on the edge of the transition.
Epithelial cell tissues have a slow relaxation dynamics resembling that of supercooled liquids. Yet, they also have distinguishing features. These include an extended short-time sub-diffusive transient, as observed in some experiments and recent stud ies of model systems, and a sub-Arrhenius dependence of the relaxation time on temperature, as reported in numerical studies. Here we demonstrate that the anomalous glassy dynamics of epithelial tissues originates from the emergence of a fractal-like energy landscape, particles becoming virtually free to diffuse in specific phase space directions up to a small distance. Furthermore, we clarify that the stiffness of the cells tunes this anomalous behaviour, tissues of stiff cells having conventional glassy relaxation dynamics.
Large-scale three dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of hopper flow are presented. The flow rate of the system is controlled by the width of the aperture at the bottom. As the steady-state flow rate is reduced, the force distribution $P(f)$ c hanges only slightly, while there is a large change in the impulse distribution $P(i)$. In both cases, the distributions show an increase in small forces or impulses as the systems approach jamming, the opposite of that seen in previous Lennard-Jones simulations. This occurs dynamically as well for a hopper that transitions from a flowing to a jammed state over time. The final jammed $P(f)$ is quite distinct from a poured packing $P(f)$ in the same geometry. The change in $P(i)$ is a much stronger indicator of the approach to jamming. The formation of a peak or plateau in $P(f)$ at the average force is not a general feature of the approach to jamming.

We discuss a microscopic scheme to compute the rigidity of glasses or the plateau modulus of supercooled liquids by twisting replicated liquids. We first summarize the method in the case of harmonic glasses with analytic potentials. Then we discuss h ow it can be extended to the case of repulsive contact systems : the hard sphere glass and related systems with repulsive contact potentials which enable the jamming transition at zero temperature. For the repulsive contact systems we find entropic rigidity which behaves similarly as the pressure in the low temperature limit: it is proportional to the temperature and tends to diverge approaching the jamming density with increasing volume fraction, which may account for experimental observations of rigidities of repulsive colloids and emulsions.
We show that non-Brownian suspensions of repulsive spheres below jamming display a slow relaxational dynamics with a characteristic time scale that diverges at jamming. This slow time scale is fully encoded in the structure of the unjammed packing an d can be readily measured via the vibrational density of states. We show that the corresponding dynamic critical exponent is the same for randomly generated and sheared packings. Our results show that a wide variety of physical situations, from suspension rheology to algorithmic studies of the jamming transition are controlled by a unique diverging timescale, with a universal critical exponent.
