Theoretical progresses in off-equilibrium behaviour #
Many systems approach equilibrium very slowly: the equilibration 
time
becomes macroscopic and sometimes it is so large that it cannot 
be
measured.
Strong progresses have recently done in understanding the 
collective
phenomena that are at the basis of their behavior.
<br/>
This talk will contain:<br/>
a) A mini introduction to structural glasses and spin 
glasses.<br/>
b) A theoretical framework for interpreting these 
phenomena.<br/>
c) Aging in structural glasses and spin glasses (theoretical
predictions, experimental and numerical results).<br/>
d) Generalized fluctuation dissipation relations and the 
definition of a scale dependent temperature.<br/>
