                                Infinite Number of Order Parameters for Spin-Glasses
                                from Physical Review Letters
                                This Letter shows that in the mean-field approximation spin-glasses must be described by an infinite number of order parameters in the framework of the replica theory.

                                An order parameter for spin-glasses is defined in a clear physical way: It is a function on the interval 0-1 and it is related to the probability distribution of the overlap of the magnetization in different states of the system. It is shown to coincide with the order parameter introduced by use of the broken replica-symmetry approach.

                                A probability distribution has been proposed recently by one of us as an order parameter for spin-glasses. We show that this probability depends on the particular realization of the couplings even in the thermodynamic limit, and we study its distribution. We also show that the space of states has an ultrametric topology.

                                Mean-field theory of hard sphere glasses and jamming
                                from Reviews of Modern Physics
                                Hard spheres are ubiquitous in condensed matter: they have been used as models for liquids, crystals, colloidal systems, granular systems, and powders. Packings of hard spheres are of even wider interest as they are related to important problems in information theory, such as digitalization of signals, error correcting codes, and optimization problems. In three dimensions the densest packing of identical hard spheres has been proven to be the fcc lattice, and it is conjectured that the closest packing is ordered (a regular lattice, e.g., a crystal) in low enough dimension. Still, amorphous packings have attracted much interest because for polydisperse colloids and granular materials the crystalline state is not obtained in experiments for kinetic reasons. A theory of amorphous packings, and more generally glassy states, of hard spheres is reviewed here, that is based on the replica method: this theory gives predictions on the structure and thermodynamics of these states. In dimensions between two and six these predictions can be successfully compared with numerical simulations. The limit of large dimension is also discussed where an exact solution is possible. Some of the results presented here were published, but others are original: in particular, an improved discussion of the large dimension limit and new results on the correlation function and the contact force distribution in three dimensions. The main assumptions that are beyond the theory presented are clarified and, in particular, the relation between static computation and the dynamical procedures used to construct amorphous packings. There remain many weak points in the theory that should be better investigated.

                                Universal Microstructure and Mechanical Stability of Jammed Packings
                                from Physical Review Letters
                                The mechanical properties of jammed packings depend sensitively on their detailed local structure. Here we provide a complete characterization of the pair correlation close to contact and of the force distribution of jammed frictionless spheres. In particular we discover a set of new scaling relations that connect the behavior of particles bearing small forces and those bearing no force but that are almost in contact. By performing systematic investigations for spatial dimensions $d=3--10$, in a wide density range and using different preparation protocols, we show that these scalings are indeed universal. We therefore establish clear milestones for the emergence of a complete microscopic theory of jamming. This description is also crucial for high-precision force experiments in granular systems.
                              8. Long-Range Anomalous Decay of the Correlation in Jammed Packings
                                from Physical Review Letters
                                Correlation functions in static observables other than density support the hypothesis that randomly jammed packings are hyperuniform.

                                          @clacke Yeah I get that, here it's a file on my desktop that gets filtered by a script, there's stuff from nearly 10 years ago in there so I quite trust it.
                                          Meanwhile I don't trust a phone for even keeping contacts.

                                          @clacke Medical science here is paid for with tax dollars and then the treatments and care are sold back to the taxpayer at high prices through a private system. AND states have sold the information to various entities—Texas sold theirs to the Pentagon, for some reason. So, it's a hellscape herre.

                                          @brianstorms @clacke @countcol the pornographers are always at the forefront of any viable new technology. Which is why their lack of interest in crypto currency is telling.

                                          @eliasr det var en händelse som fördes på Twitter när KD tog upp ämnet
                                          om SD:s rasistiska & nazistiska "förflutna".
                                          Åkesson blev rasande & påminde Busch att "självgoda finborgare" i KD styr landet under hans nåder. Buschs uttryckte att: "De [SD] har den bakgrund de har. Kom över det nu. Vi har uppenbarligen kunnat göra det. Hon erkände att hon & KD inte har några problem att ge inflytande åt SD & deras uppenbart levande rötter.
