Glassiness and lack of equipartition in random lasers: The common roots of ergodicity breaking in disordered and nonlinear systems

We present here a unifying perspective for the lack of equipartition in nonlinear ordered systems and the low-temperature phase-space fragmentation in disordered systems. We demonstrate that they are just two manifestation of the same underlying phenomenon: ergodicity breaking. Inspired by recent ex...
