Configurational states that are to be associated, according to Goldstein, with the basins in the potential energy landscape cannot be characterized by any particular basin identifier such as the basin minima, the lowest barrier, the most probable energy barrier, etc. since the basin free energy turns out to be independent of the energies of these identifiers. Thus, our analysis utilizes basin free energies to characterize configurational states. When the basin identifier energies are monotonic, we can express the equilibrium basin free energy as a function of an equilibrium basin identifier energy, as we explain, but it is not necessarily unique.
The mechanism of diffusion in supercooled liquids is investigated from the potential energy landscape point of view, with emphasis on the crossover from high- to low-T dynamics. Molecular dynamics simulations with a time dependent mapping to the asso
Among the stationary configurations of the Hamiltonian of a classical O$(n)$ lattice spin model, a class can be identified which is in one-to-one correspondence with all the the configurations of an Ising model defined on the same lattice and with th
Using the potential energy landscape formalism we show that, in the temperature range in which the dynamics of a glass forming system is thermally activated, there exists a unique set of basis glass states each of which is confined to a single metaba
We numerically study the relaxation dynamics of several glass-forming models to their inherent structures, following quenches from equilibrium configurations sampled across a wide range of temperatures. In a mean-field Mari-Kurchan model, we find tha
We study the global geometry of the energy landscape of a simple model of a self-gravitating system, the self-gravitating ring (SGR). This is done by endowing the configuration space with a metric such that the dynamical trajectories are identified w
