A new perspective on the jamming transition: geometry reveals hidden symmetries

Jamming is a physical process which is both easy to describe and incredibly difficult to understand. One such difficulty is that mechanical treatments of jamming focus on pressure, force, stress, and strain, which are identically zero below jamming, making it hard to differentiate systems whcih whic...
