Francesco Zamponi : Jamming and hard sphere glasses

I will review a theory of amorphous packings of hard spheres based on the assumption that these packings are the infinite pressure limit of long-lived metastable glassy states. Technically, the theory makes use of the replica method and of standard liquid theory; it gives predictions on both the structure and the thermodynamics of amorphous states. In dimensions between two and six these predictions can be successfully compared with numerical simulations. I will finally discuss the limit of large dimension, that is relevant for information theory problems, where an exact solution is possible.
