We review the field of the glass transition, glassy dynamics and aging from a statistical mechanics perspective. We give a brief introduction to the subject and explain the main phenomenology encountered in glassy systems, with a particular emphasis on spatially heterogeneous dynamics. We review the main theoretical approaches currently available to account for these glassy phenomena, including recent developments regarding mean-field theory of liquids and glasses, novel computational tools, and connections to the jamming transition. Finally, the physics of aging and off-equilibrium dynamics exhibited by glassy materials is discussed.

  1. Physical ageing from generalised time-translation-invariance

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A single time-dependent symmetry transformation is claimed to explain the known scaling phenomenology of physical ageing and to predict new finite-size plateau scalings.

  2. Compaction of Granular Columns under Thermal Cycling

    cond-mat.soft 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Temperature cycling compacts granular columns because the container expands more than the grains, and the densification follows the slow logarithmic relaxation seen in aging glasses.
