Seminar on Physics: Jamming: From glassy materials to traffic jams

Do, 8:30 - 10:00, SR 01.779
First meeting: April 27th, first talk: May 11th

Content:

In many systems a dramatic slowdown of dynamics is observed when the density is increased or the temperature is decreased. In this seminar we will consider different systems where such a slowdown is observed and discuss possible similarities in their theoretical description.

Possible topics:

Traffic jams, Pedestrian dynamics, Crowding in biological systems, Gelation, Network dynamics, Rigidity Percolation, Geometric Frustration and Spin Glasses, Athermal jamming and random closed packing, Entropy of granular packings, Computer simulations of glassy dynamics, Hopping Models and Ageing, Mode coupling theory, Kauzmann's paradox, Random First Order Theory, Kinetically constrained models, Shear thinning and shear thickening, Dynamic heterogeneity, Jamming of active particles
