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[...]

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 [...]

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[...]

The recent implementation of a swap Monte Carlo algorithm (SWAP) for polydisperse mixtures fully bypasses computational sluggishness and closes the gap between experiment[...]

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