Abstract: We review the aging phenomenon in the context of the simplest trap model, Bouchaud's REM-like trap model, from a spectral theoretic point of view. We show that the generator of the dynamics of this model can be diagonalized exactly. Using this result, we derive closed expressions for correlation functions in terms of complex contour integrals that permit an easy investigation into their large time asymptotics in the thermodynamic limit. We also give a ``grand canonical representation of the model in terms of the Markov process on a Poisson point process. In this context we analyze the dynamics on various time scales.

Review text

The first REM-like trap model studied in this paper is a continuous-time random walk in a random environment \(Y_N(t), t\geq 0\), on the complete graph on \(N\)-vertices with infinitesimal generator \(G_N:=(g_{ij})\) given by \[ g_{ii} = \frac{(N-1)}{N}e^{-E_i} \quad \text{and}\quad g_{ij} = -\frac{1}{N}e^{-E_i}, \;i\neq j. \] The energy landscape is given by a family \(\{E_i ; i\in \mathbb N\}\) of i.i.d. random variables exponentially distributed with parameter \(\alpha\), \(0<\alpha<1\). As for the other trap models introduced by \textit{Bouchaud} and \textit{Dean} [J. Phys. I France 5, 265--286 (1995)], the mean waiting times are not integrable (with respect to the environment). A complete description of the spectral decomposition of the generator is given. This allows a deeper analysis of the aging behavior of the walk than what was previously done by renewal methods. The representation of the time correlation function \[ \Pi_N(t,t_w) := P_N(Y_N(s) = Y_N(t_w) \;\forall s\in[ t_w ,t_w +t]) \] as a complex integral is used to identify the thermodynamic limit and to investigate the phenomenon of visiting states with large waiting times. In the second part, the energy landscape of the REM-trap model is constructed from a Poisson point process. The aymptotic behavior of the time correlation is described for three different time-rescalings.
