OPTIMIZATION STATISTICAL PHYS EDWARDS instance sample packing cost function energy volume optimal configuration ground state RCP at X=0 minimal cost ground state energy minimal volume 3

4 Theoretical approach II: Mean field theory of jammed hard-sphere (remnant of RSB solution from replica theory) Parisi and Zamponi (2010) Jammed states: J-line liquid state splits s! 0 max{ +s} Replica theory: jammed states are the infinite pressure limit of metastable hard sphere glasses Approach jamming from the liquid phase. Predict a range of RCP densities [ th, GCP] [0.64, 0.68] Mean field theory based on RSB solution in the glass phase.

The density ϕ is increased at rate γ and the reduced pressure p(ϕ) =βp/ρ is measured during the process. See (Skoge et al., 2006) for details. The quantity ϕ j(ϕ) = p(ϕ)ϕ is plotted as a function of ϕ. If the system jams at density ϕj, p and p(ϕ) d ϕ j ϕ j. Thus the final jamming density is the point where ϕ j(ϕ) intersectsthedot-dashedline ϕ j = ϕ. (Left) The dotted line is the liquid (Percus-Yevick) equation of state. The curves at high γ follow the liquid branch at low density; when they leave it, the pressure increases faster and diverges at ϕ j.thecurvesforlowerγ show first a drop in the pressure, which signals crystallization. (Right) All the curves follow the liquid equation of state (obtained from Eq.(9) of (Bishop and Whitlock, 2005)) and leave it at a density that depends on γ. In this case no crystallization is observed. For γ =10 5 the dot-dashed line is a fit to the high-density part of the pressure (glass branch). The arrow marks the region where the pressure crosses over from the liquid to the glass branch. RLP =4/(4 + 2 p 3) edw =6/(6 + 2 p 3) MRJ GCP =0.68 RCP onset c fcc =0.74 th =0.64

Mod. Phys. (2010) Isostatic packings (z = 2d) ranging volume fraction increases with dimensions No unified conclusion at the mean-field level (infinite d). Neither dynamics nor jamming. Does RCP in large d have higher-order correlations missed by theory?: Test of replica th. Edwards solution seems to corresponds to th. Higher entropy state.

41 Summary Ode to Edwards! 1. Edwards ensemble to predict RCP for spheres. 2. Edwards ensemble for non-spherical particles. 3. Edwards ensemble for packings in large dimensions to compare with replica theory of hard sphere glasses. 4. Edwards replica trick or cavity method for proper average over quenched disorder for force distribution for any system: spheres, non-spheres, friction and frictionless, any dimension. 5. Extending Maxwell argument: Cavity method at RS level for solution-no solution transition to calculate Zc from frictionless isostatic grains to frictional grains. 6. Edwards CAVEAT: 1-5 done at expense of drastic (yet controlled) approximations.

45 Annealed versus quenched disorder Experimentally: first find the distribution for a fixed (quenched) packing, then average over the ensemble of packings Average must be carried over a physical observable: free energy, not the partition function. quenched disorder annealed disorder F = kt ln Z F = kt ln Z Replica trick(edwards-anderson) ln Z =lim(z n 1)/n n!0 Cavity Method Granular matter: Performed average over forces then over contact network
