title: Slow relaxation, dynamic transitions, and extreme value statistics in disordered systems.
abstract: We show that the dynamics of simple disordered models, like the directed trap model and the random energy model, takes place at a coexistence point between active and inactive dynamical phases. We relate the presence of a dynamic phase transition in these models to the extreme value statistics of the associated random energy landscape.
