    Suicide is an event in society that is often inevitable. Suicide is a deliberate end to life. Social symptoms in society greatly affect someone in committing suicide. Referring to Durkheim, there are at least four types of suicide, namely egoistic suicide, suicide altruism, anomie suicide, and fatalistic suicide. Egoistic suicide is a suicide that occurs because social integration is too weak. Suicide altruism is a suicide that occurs because social integration is too strong. Anomie suicide is a suicide that occurs because of the blurring of values and norms in society. Fatalistic suicide is a suicide that occurs because the values and norms that apply in society are too excessive. Suicidal acts that occur in the community can be mapped through the fact that social integration is getting stronger or weaker. In addition, suicide can also be mapped based on the fact that the values and norms are getting weaker or stronger

    Cluster Dynamical Mean Field analysis of the Mott transition

    Full text link
    We investigate the Mott transition using a cluster extension of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). In the absence of frustration we find no evidence for a finite temperature Mott transition. Instead, in a frustrated model, we observe signatures of a finite temperature Mott critical point in agreement with experimental studies of kappa-organics and with single site DMFT. As the Mott transition is approached, a clear momentum dependence of the electron lifetime develops on the Fermi surface with the formation of cold regions along the diagonal direction of the Brillouin zone. Furthermore the variation of the effective mass is no longer equal to the inverse of the quasi particle residue, as in DMFT, and is reduced approaching the Mott transition.Comment: 4 page

    From Large Scale Rearrangements to Mode Coupling Phenomenology

    Full text link
    We consider the equilibrium dynamics of Ising spin models with multi-spin interactions on sparse random graphs (Bethe lattices). Such models undergo a mean field glass transition upon increasing the graph connectivity or lowering the temperature. Focusing on the low temperature limit, we identify the large scale rearrangements responsible for the dynamical slowing-down near the transition. We are able to characterize exactly the dynamics near criticality by analyzing the statistical properties of such rearrangements. Our approach can be generalized to a large variety of glassy models on sparse random graphs, ranging from satisfiability to kinetically constrained models.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, minor corrections, accepted versio

    Dynamic criticality at the jamming transition

    Full text link
    We characterize vibrational motion occurring at low temperatures in dense suspensions of soft repulsive spheres over a broad range of volume fractions encompassing the jamming transition at (T = 0, phi = phi_J). We find that characteristic time and length scales of thermal vibrations obey critical scaling in the vicinity of the jamming transition. We show in particular that the amplitude and the time scale of dynamic fluctuations diverge symmetrically on both sides of the transition, and directly reveal a diverging correlation length. The critical region near phi_J is divided in three different regimes separated by a characteristic temperature scale T*(phi) that vanishes quadratically with the distance to phi_J. While two of them, (T < T*(phi), phi > phi_J) and (T < T*(phi), phi < phi_J), are described by harmonic theories developed in the zero temperature limit, the third one for T > T*(phi) is inherently anharmonic and displays new critical properties. We find that the quadratic scaling of T*(phi) is due to nonperturbative anharmonic contributions, its amplitude being orders of magnitude smaller than the perturbative prediction based on the expansion to quartic order in the interactions. Our results show that thermal vibrations in colloidal assemblies directly reveal the critical nature of the jamming transition. The critical region, however, is very narrow and has not yet been attained experimentally, even in recent specifically-dedicated experiments.Comment: 18 pages; submitted to J. Chem.

    Spectral Density of Sparse Sample Covariance Matrices

    Full text link
    Applying the replica method of statistical mechanics, we evaluate the eigenvalue density of the large random matrix (sample covariance matrix) of the form J=ATAJ = A^{\rm T} A, where AA is an MĂ—NM \times N real sparse random matrix. The difference from a dense random matrix is the most significant in the tail region of the spectrum. We compare the results of several approximation schemes, focusing on the behavior in the tail region.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures, minor corrections mad

    Critical fluctuations and breakdown of Stokes-Einstein relation in the Mode-Coupling Theory of glasses

    Full text link
    We argue that the critical dynamical fluctuations predicted by the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of glasses provide a natural mechanism to explain the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation. This breakdown, observed numerically and experimentally in a region where MCT should hold, is one of the major difficulty of the theory, for which we propose a natural resolution based on the recent interpretation of the MCT transition as a bona fide critical point with a diverging length scale. We also show that the upper critical dimension of MCT is d_c=8.Comment: Proceedings of the workshop on non-equilibrium phenomena in supercooled fluids, glasses and amorphous materials (17-22 September, 2006, Pisa

    The Valence Bond Glass phase

    Full text link
    We show that a new glassy phase can emerge in presence of strong magnetic frustration and quantum fluctuations. It is a Valence Bond Glass. We study its properties solving the Hubbard-Heisenberg model on a Bethe lattice within the large NN limit introduced by Affleck and Marston. We work out the phase diagram that contains Fermi liquid, dimer and valence bond glass phases. This new glassy phase has no electronic or spin gap (although a pseudo-gap is observed), it is characterized by long-range critical valence bond correlations and is not related to any magnetic ordering. As a consequence it is quite different from both valence bond crystals and spin glasses

    Analytic determination of dynamical and mosaic length scales in a Kac glass model

    Full text link
    We consider a disordered spin model with multi-spin interactions undergoing a glass transition. We introduce a dynamic and a static length scales and compute them in the Kac limit (long--but--finite range interactions). They diverge at the dynamic and static phase transition with exponents (respectively) -1/4 and -1. The two length scales are approximately equal well above the mode coupling transition. Their discrepancy increases rapidly as this transition is approached. We argue that this signals a crossover from mode coupling to activated dynamics.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures.

    Avalanches and Dynamical Correlations in supercooled liquids

    Full text link
    We identify the pattern of microscopic dynamical relaxation for a two dimensional glass forming liquid. On short timescales, bursts of irreversible particle motion, called cage jumps, aggregate into clusters. On larger time scales, clusters aggregate both spatially and temporally into avalanches. This propagation of mobility, or dynamic facilitation, takes place along the soft regions of the systems, which have been identified by computing isoconfigurational Debye-Waller maps. Our results characterize the way in which dynamical heterogeneity evolves in moderately supercooled liquids and reveal that it is astonishingly similar to the one found for dense glassy granular media.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Dynamics of dilute disordered models: a solvable case

    Full text link
    We study the dynamics of a dilute spherical model with two body interactions and random exchanges. We analyze the Langevin equations and we introduce a functional variational method to study generic dilute disordered models. A crossover temperature replaces the dynamic transition of the fully-connected limit. There are two asymptotic regimes, one determined by the central band of the spectral density of the interactions and a slower one determined by localized configurations on sites with high connectivity. We confront the behavior of this model to the one of real glasses.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures. Clarified, final versio
