【 摘 要 】

Out-of-equilibrium states in glasses and crystals have been a major topic of research in condensed-matter physics for many years, and the idea of time crystals has triggered a flurry of new research. Here, we provide a description for the recently conjectured time glasses using fractional calculus methods. An exactly solvable effective theory is introduced with a continuous parameter describing the transition from liquid through normal glass and time glass into the Gardner phase. The phenomenological description with a fractional Langevin equation is connected to a microscopic model of a particle in a sub-Ohmic bath in the framework of a generalized Caldeira-Leggett model.
