Description
The solution of the dynamics of glasses at the mean-field level - for example in the limit of high dimension -- has a few surprises. The equations possess an emergent reparametrization invariance. The supersymmetry associated with thermal equilibrium is broken, but a new one arises ‘from nowhere’. These two intriguing mathematical features dominate the glassy phenomenology.
