Critical Dynamics in Glassy Systems

Abstract

Critical dynamics in various glass models including those described by mode coupling theory is described by scale-invariant dynamical equations with a single non-universal quantity, i.e. the so-called parameter exponent that determines all the dynamical critical exponents. We show that these equations follow from the structure of the static replicated Gibbs free energy near the critical point. In particular the exponent parameter is given by the ratio between two cubic proper vertexes that can be expressed as six-point cumulants measured in a purely static framework.
