Kinetic facilitated models and the Mode Coupling Theory (MCT) model B are within those systems known to exhibit a discontinuous dynamical transition with a two step relaxation. We consider a general scaling approach, within mean field theory, for such systems by considering the behavior of the density correlator <q(t)> and the dynamical susceptibility <q^2(t)> -<q(t)>^2. Focusing on the Fredrickson and Andersen (FA) facilitated spin model on the Bethe lattice, we extend a cluster approach that was previously developed for continuous glass transitions by Arenzon et al (Phys. Rev. E 90, 020301(R) (2014)) to describe the decay to the plateau, and consider a damage spreading mechanism to describe the departure from the plateau. We predict scaling laws, which relate dynamical exponents to the static exponents of mean field bootstrap percolation. The dynamical behavior and the scaling laws for both density correlator and dynamical susceptibility coincide with those predicted by MCT. These results explain the origin of scaling laws and the universal behavior associated with the glass transition in mean field, which is characterized by the divergence of the static length of the bootstrap percolation model with an upper critical dimension d_c=8.

Recently, it has been proposed that the adsorption transition for a single polymer in dilute solution, modeled by lattice walks in three dimensions, is not universal with respect to inter-monomer interactions. It has also been conjectured that key cr itical exponents $phi$, measuring the growth of the contacts with the surface at the adsorption point, and $1/delta$, which measures the finite-size shift of the critical temperature, are not the same. However, applying standard scaling arguments the two key critical exponents should be identical, thus pointing to a potential breakdown of these standard scaling arguments. This is in contrast to the well studied situation in two dimensions, where there are exact results from conformal field theory: these exponents are both accepted to be $1/2$ and universal. We use the flatPERM algorithm to simulate self-avoiding walks and trails on the hexagonal, square and simple cubic lattices up to length $1024$ to investigate these claims. Walks can be seen as a repulsive limit of inter-monomer interaction for trails, allowing us to probe the universality of adsorption. For each model we analyze several thermodynamic properties to produce different methods of estimating the critical temperature and the key exponents. We test our methodology on the two-dimensional cases and the resulting spread in values for $phi$ and $1/delta$ indicates that there is a systematic error that exceeds the statistical error usually reported. We further suggest a methodology for consistent estimation of the key adsorption exponents which gives $phi=1/delta=0.484(4)$ in three dimensions. We conclude that in three dimensions these critical exponents indeed differ from the mean-field value of $1/2$, but cannot find evidence that they differ from each other. Importantly, we also find no substantive evidence of any non-universality in the polymer adsorption transition.

The correlation length $xi$, a key quantity in glassy dynamics, can now be precisely measured for spin glasses both in experiments and in simulations. However, known analysis methods lead to discrepancies either for large external fields or close to the glass temperature. We solve this problem by introducing a scaling law that takes into account both the magnetic field and the time-dependent spin-glass correlation length. The scaling law is successfully tested against experimental measurements in a CuMn single crystal and against large-scale simulations on the Janus II dedicated computer.
Physical understanding of how the interplay between symmetries and nonlinear effects can control the scaling and multiscaling properties in a coupled driven system, such as magnetohydrodynamic turbulence or turbulent binary fluid mixtures, remains el usive till the date. To address this generic issue, we construct a conceptual nonlinear hydrodynamic model, parametrised jointly by the nonlinear coefficients, and the spatial scaling of the variances of the advecting stochastic velocity and the stochastic additive driving force, respectively. By using a perturbative one-loop dynamic renormalisation group method, we calculate the multiscaling exponents of the suitably defined equal-time structure functions of the dynamical variable. We show that depending upon the control parameters the model can display a variety of universal scaling behaviours ranging from simple scaling to multiscaling.
We use event driven simulations to analyze glassy dynamics as a function of density and energy dissipation in a two-dimensional bidisperse granular fluid under stationary conditions. Clear signatures of a glass transition are identified, such as an i ncrease of relaxation times over several orders of magnitude. As the inelasticity is increased, the glass transition is shifted to higher densities and the precursors of the transition become less and less pronounced -- in agreement with a recent mode-coupling theory. We analyze the long-time tails of the velocity autocorrelation and discuss its consequences for the nonexistence of the diffusion constant in two dimensions.

Lattice molecule models are proposed in order to study statistical mechanics of glass transition in finite dimensions. Molecules in the models are represented by hard Wang tiles and their density is controlled by a chemical potential. An infinite ser ies of irregular ground states are constructed theoretically. By defining a glass order parameter as a collection of the overlap with each ground state, a thermodynamic transition to a glass phase is found in a stratified Wang tiles model on a cubic lattice.
