Abstract
We present a model of spheres moving in a high-dimensional compact spa ce. We relate it to a mixed matrix model with a O(N) invariant model p lus a P(N) invariant perturbation. We then study the low pressure regi me by performing a diagrammatic expansion of this matrix model. Finall y, we show the results from numerical simulations and we present evide nce for a glassy regime at high pressures.
