Statistics of conserved quantities in mechanically stable packings of frictionless disks above jamming
We numerically simulate mechanically stable packings of soft-core, frictionless, bidisperse disks in two dimensions, above the jamming packing fraction $\phi_J$. For configurations with a fixed isotropic global stress tensor, we compute the averages, variances, and correlations of conserved quantities (stress $\Gamma_{\cal C}$, force-tile area $A_{\cal C}$, Voronoi volume $V_{\cal C}$, …
