Statics and dynamics of infinite-dimensional liquids and glasses: a parallel, compact derivation

Abstract

We provide a compact derivation of the static and dynamic equations for infinite-dimensional particle systems in the liquid and glass phases. The static derivation is based on the introduction of an "auxiliary" disorder and the use of the replica method. The dynamic derivation is based on the general analogy between replicas and the supersymmetric formulation of dynamics. We show that static and dynamic results are consistent, and follow the Random First Order Transition scenario of mean field disordered glassy systems.
