This review reports on the research done during past years on violations of the fluctuation–
dissipation theorem (FDT) in glassy systems. It is focused on the existence of a quasi …

In the past few years, systems with slow dynamics have attracted considerable theoretical
and experimental interest. Ageing phenomena are observed during this everlasting non …

Universal scaling behavior is an attractive feature in statistical physics because a wide
range of models can be classified purely in terms of their collective behavior due to a …

Statistical systems displaying a strongly anisotropic or dynamical scaling behaviour are
characterized by an anisotropy exponent θ or a dynamical exponent z. For a given value of θ …

The free Schrödinger equation with mass M can be turned into a non-massive Klein–Gordon
equation via Fourier transformation with respect to M. The kinematic symmetry algebra sch d …

These lecture notes can be read in two ways. The first two sections contain a review of the
phenomenology of several physical systems with slow nonequilibrium dynamics. In the …

We use simple models (the Ising model in one and two dimensions, and the spherical model
in arbitrary dimension) to put to the test some recent ideas on the slow dynamics of …

The kinetics of phase ordering has been investigated for numerous systems via the growth
of the characteristic length scale\(\ell (t)\sim t^{\alpha}\) quantifying the size of ordered …

We derive for Ising spins an off-equilibrium generalization of the fluctuation dissipation
theorem, which is formally identical to the one previously obtained for soft spins with …

The purpose of this chapter is to give a brief introduction to Monte Carlo simulations of
classical statistical physics systems and their statistical analysis. To set the general …
