Exactly Solvable Model Glass with a Facilitated Dynamics
A model glass with fast and slow processes is studied. The statics is simple and the facilitated slow dynamics is exactly solvable. The main features of a fragile glass take place: Kauzmann transition, Vogel-Fulcher law, Adam-Gibbs relation and aging. The time evolution can be so slow that a quasi-equilibrium occur at a time dependent effective temperature. The same effective temperature is derived from the Fluctuation-Dissipation ratio, which supports the applicability of out of equilibrium thermodynamics.
