Critical Off-Equilibrium Dynamics in Glassy Systems    [PDF]

Francesco Caltagirone, Giorgio Parisi, Tommaso Rizzo
We consider off-equilibrium dynamics at the critical temperature in a class of glassy system. The off-equilibrium correlation and response functions obey a precise scaling form in the aging regime. The structure of the {\it equilibrium} replicated Gibbs free energy fixes the corresponding {\it off-equilibrium} scaling functions implicitly through two functional equations. The details of the model enter these equations only through the ratio $w_2/w_1$ of the cubic coefficients (proper vertexes) of the replicated Gibbs free energy. Therefore the off-equilibrium dynamical exponents are controlled by the very same parameter exponent $\lambda=w_2/w_1$ that determines equilibrium dynamics. We find approximate solutions to the equations and validate the theory by means of analytical computations and numerical simulations.
