Disordered environments in spatial games.

The Prisoner's dilemma is the main game theoretical framework in which the onset and maintainance of cooperation in biological populations is studied. In the spatial version of the model, we study the robustness of cooperation in heterogeneous ecosystems in spatial evolutionary games by considering site diluted lattices. The main result is that, due to disorder, the fraction of cooperators in the population is enhanced. Moreover, the system presents a dynamical transition at rho*, separating a region with spatial chaos from one with localized, stable groups of cooperators.

Off-equilibrium dynamics of the frustrated Ising lattice gas.

We study by means of Monte Carlo simulations the off-equilibrium properties of a model glass, the frustrated Ising lattice gas in three dimensions. We have computed typical two times quantities, such as density-density autocorrelations and the autocorrelation of internal degrees of freedom. We find an aging scenario particularly interesting in the case of the density autocorrelations in real space that is very reminiscent of spin glass phenomenology. While this model captures the essential features of structural glass dynamics, its analogy with spin glasses may make possible its complete description using the tools developed in spin glass theory.
