The apparent simplicity of amorphous sphere packings can be misleading. Although random close packing is a common phenomenon that has been studied for decades recent theo[...]

The formulation of the mean-field infinite-dimensional solution of hard sphere glasses is a significant milestone for theoretical physics. How relevant this description m[...]

The similarity in mechanical properties of dense active matter and sheared amorphous solids has been noted in recent years without a rigorous examination of the underlyin[...]

The mean-field theory (MFT) of simple structural glasses which is exact in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions d→∞ offers theoretical insight as well as quantitative[...]

Liquids equilibrated below an onset condition share similar inherent states while those above that onset have inherent states that markedly differ. Although this type of [...]

Critical single-particle fluctuations associated with particle displacements are inherent to simple glass-forming liquids in the limit of large dimensions and leave a pse[...]

Although the emergence of sucre à la crème left little paper trail various lines of evidence point toward a late 18th -early 19th century origin in rural French-speaking [...]

Although much is known about the metastable liquid branch of hard spheres--from low dimension d up to the infinite dimensional limit--its crystal counterpart remains larg[...]

Based on results from the physics and mathematics literature which suggest a series of clearly defined

conjectures we formulate three simple scenarios for the fat[...]

Structural glasses form through various out-of-equilibrium processes including temperature quenches rapid compression (crunches) and shear. Although each of these process[...]
