Fluidization and Active Thinning by Molecular Kinetics in Active Gels.
We derive the constitutive equations of an active polar gel from a model for the dynamics of elastic molecules that link polar elements. Molecular binding kinetics induces the fluidization of the material, giving rise to Maxwell viscoelasticity and, provided that detailed balance is broken, to the generation of active stresses. We give explicit expressions for the transport coefficients of acti...
متن کاملDiffusion in Glassy Systems
The transport properties of glass-forming systems have many features that are not found in normal liquids. Among them is a very strong sensitivity of the relaxation times upon a change in temperature and the presence of so-called dynamical heterogeneities. In this review we discuss these unusual properties and present the results of a simple lattice gas model that helps to understand the origin...
متن کاملFluctuations in glassy systems
We summarize a theoretical framework based on global timereparametrization invariance that explains the origin of dynamic fluctuations in glassy systems. We introduce the main ideas without getting into much technical details. We describe a number of consequences arising from this scenario that can be tested numerically and experimentally, distinguishing those that can also be explained by othe...
متن کاملNumerical methods in Glassy systems
In these lectures I describe some theoretical tools and numerical techniques to investigate glassy systems. The discussion is centered on spin glasses where there has been a large amount of theoretical as well as numerical work during the recent years. After discussing the utility of introducing real replicas in numerical simulations, I analyze topics such as equilibration methods and the analy...
متن کاملective potentials in glassy systems
We review the construction of thèe ective potential' in coupled glassy systems, and discuss the resulting phase diagram in the mean-® eld approximation. The notion ofè ective potential plays a very important role in statistical mechanics and ® eld theory (see for example Zinn-Justin (1996)), and in particular in the study of the phase transitions. The e ective potential is usually de® ned as th...
