Singularities in Hessian element distributions of amorphous media

We show that the distribution of elements H in the Hessian matrices associated with amorphous materials exhibit singularities P(H)∼|H|^{γ} with an exponent γ<0, as |H|→0. We exploit the rotational invariance of the underlying disorder in amorphous structures to derive these exponents exactly for...
