We investigate how structural relaxation in mixtures with strong dynamical asymmetry is affected by the microscopic dynamics. Brownian and Newtonian dynamics simulations of dense mixtures of fast and slow hard spheres reveal a striking trend reversal. Below a critical density, increasing the mobility of the fast particles fluidizes the system, yet, above that critical density, the same increase in mobility strongly hinders the relaxation of the slow particles. The critical density itself does not depend on the dynamical asymmetry and can be identified with the glass-transition density of the mode-coupling theory. The asymptotic dynamics close to the critical density is universal, but strong pre-asymptotic effects prevail in mixtures with additional size asymmetry. This observation reconciles earlier findings of a strong dependence on kinetic parameters of glassy dynamics in colloid--polymer mixtures with the paradigm that the glass transition is determined by the properties of configuration space alone.

We investigate dynamical self-friction, the process by which material that is stripped from a subhalo torques its remaining bound remnant, which causes it to lose orbital angular momentum. By running idealized simulations of a subhalo orbiting within
an analytical host halo potential, we isolate the effect of self-friction from traditional dynamical friction due to the host halo. While at some points in a subhalos orbit the torque of the stripped material can boost the orbital angular momentum of the remnant, the net effect over the long term is orbital decay regardless of the initial orbital parameters or subhalo mass. In order to quantify the strength of self-friction, we run a suite of simulations spanning typical host-to-subhalo mass ratios and orbital parameters. We find that the time-scale for self-friction, defined as the exponential decay time of the subhalos orbital angular momentum, scales with mass ratio and orbital circularity similar to standard dynamical friction. The decay time due to self-friction is roughly an order of magnitude longer, suggesting that self-friction only contributes at the 10 percent level. However, along more radial orbits, self-friction can occasionally dominate over dynamical friction close to pericentric passage, where mass stripping is intense. This is also the epoch at which the self-friction torque undergoes large and rapid changes in both magnitude and direction, indicating that self-friction is an important process to consider when modeling pericentric passages of subhaloes and their associated satellite galaxies.
We consider models of growing multi-level systems wherein the growth process is driven by rules of tournament selection. A system can be conceived as an evolving tree with a new node being attached to a contestant node at the best hierarchy level (a
level nearest to the tree root). The proposed evolution reflects limited information on system properties available to new nodes. It can also be expressed in terms of population dynamics. Two models are considered: a constant tournament (CT) model wherein the number of tournament participants is constant throughout system evolution, and a proportional tournament (PT) model where this number increases proportionally to the growing size of the system itself. The results of analytical calculations based on a rate equation fit well to numerical simulations for both models. In the CT model all hierarchy levels emerge but the birth time of a consecutive hierarchy level increases exponentially or faster for each new level. The number of nodes at the first hierarchy level grows logarithmically in time, while the size of the last, worst hierarchy level oscillates quasi log-periodically. In the PT model the occupations of the first two hierarchy levels increase linearly but worse hierarchy levels either do not emerge at all or appear only by chance in early stage of system evolution to further stop growing at all. The results allow to conclude that information available to each new node in tournament dynamics restrains the emergence of new hierarchy levels and that it is the absolute amount of information, not relative, which governs such behavior.
Physical properties of out of equilibrium soft materials depend on time as well as deformation history. In this work we propose to transform this major shortcoming into gain by applying controlled deformation field to tailor the rheological propertie
s. We take advantage of the fact that deformation field of a certain magnitude can prevent particles in an aging soft glassy material from occupying energy wells up to a certain depth, thereby populating only the deeper wells. We employ two soft glassy materials with dissimilar microstructures and demonstrate that increase in strength of deformation field while aging leads to narrowing of spectrum of relaxation times. We believe that, in principle, this philosophy can be universally applied to different kinds of glassy materials by changing nature and strength of impetus.
Cooperative events requiring anomalously large fluctuations are a defining characteristic for the onset of glassy relaxation across many materials. The importance of such intermittent events has been noted in systems as diverse as superconductors, me
tallic glasses, gels, colloids, and granular piles. Here, we show that prohibiting the attainment of new record-high energy fluctuations -- by explicitly imposing a ``lid on the fluctuation spectrum -- impedes further relaxation in the glassy phase. This lid allows us to directly measure the impact of record events on the evolving system in extensive simulations of aging in such vastly distinct glass formers as spin glasses and tapped granular piles. Interpreting our results in terms of a dynamics of records succeeds in explaining the ubiquity of both, the logarithmic decay of the energy and the memory effects encoded in the scaling of two-time correlation functions of aging systems.
We study quantum many-body systems with a global U(1) conservation law, focusing on a theory of $N$ interacting fermions with charge conservation, or $N$ interacting spins with one conserved component of total spin. We define an effective operator si
ze at finite chemical potential through suitably regularized out-of-time-ordered correlation functions. The growth rate of this density-dependent operator size vanishes algebraically with charge density; hence we obtain new bounds on Lyapunov exponents and butterfly velocities in charged systems at a given density, which are parametrically stronger than any Lieb-Robinson bound. We argue that the density dependence of our bound on the Lyapunov exponent is saturated in the charged Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. We also study random automaton quantum circuits and Brownian Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models, each of which exhibit a different density dependence for the Lyapunov exponent, and explain the discrepancy. We propose that our results are a cartoon for understanding Planckian-limited energy-conserving dynamics at finite temperature.
