Heterogeneous fluctuations reveal how microscopic rearrangements appear inside coarse mean-field descriptions of glasses. This work combines replica calculations and numerical simulations to characterize non-Gaussian fluctuations near the glass transition, with an emphasis on rare trajectories and their relation to single-particle correlations.
A replica-based study of equilibrium fluctuations in mean-field disordered models, with a focus on how heterogeneity survives in the thermodynamic limit.
This paper links local dynamical heterogeneity in glass formers to fluctuating microscopic mobility and spatially heterogeneous relaxation.
An analysis of rare trajectories in a prototypical mean-field disordered model, highlighting the landscape structures and instanton-like paths behind atypical fluctuations.
