论文摘要
最简单的玻璃形成系统的确切平均场理论 - 在大维极限下硬球的致密组装 - 预测了加德纳相的存在。这种过渡的特征是完全复制对称性破坏，暗示着两个引人入胜的物理后果：（i）分层的自由能景观，以及（ii）边际稳定性。在这里，我们讨论了数值模拟的最新结果，以检查物理维度中的这些平均场预测。
The exact mean-field theory for the simplest glass-forming system - the dense assembly of hard spheres in the large dimensional limit - predicts the existence of a Gardner phase. This transition is characterized by full replica symmetry breaking that implies two fascinating physical consequences: (i) a hierarchical free-energy landscape, and (ii) marginal stability. Here we discuss recent results of numerical simulations to examine these mean-field predictions in physical dimensions.
