Summary
This programme focuses on the fundamental statistical physics of strongly interacting many-body systems with regard to the occurence and properties of glassy and other complex macroscopic states and to non-equilibrium behaviour. It includes issues such as history-dependence (aging), self organisation, dynamical phase of transitions, metastability, flunctuations, the effect of driving stimuli, disorder and stochasticity. go to website
