Jamming Phase Diagram, Effective Temperature, and Heterogeneous Dynamics of Model Glass-Forming Liquids Abstract We establish that the behavior of fluids consisting of epulsivr e spheres under the combined effects of pressure p, temperature T, and applied shear stress s can be organized in a jamming phase diagram parameterized by the dimensionless quantities T/pd^3, s/p, and pd^3/e, where d is the diameter of the spheres and e is the interaction energy scale. The jamming phase diagram describes the three- dimensional parameter space as the product of an equilibrium plane at s/p=0 and a hard sphere plane at pd^3/e=0. Near the hard sphere plane, the jamming phase diagram is universal in the sense that material properties are insensitive to the details of the interaction potential. We demonstrate that within the universal regime, the conventional approach to the dynamic glass transition along a decreasing temperature trajectory is equivalent to the colloidal glass transition approach along an increasing pressure trajectory.
