We introduce a simple two-dimensional spin model with short-range interacti
ons which shows glassy behavior despite a Hamiltonian which is completely h
omogeneous and possesses no randomness. We solve exactly for both the stati
c partition function of the model and the distribution of energy barriers,
giving us the equilibration time scales at low temperature. Simulations of
instantaneous quenches and of annealing of the model are in good agreement
with the analytic calculations. We also measure the two-time spin correlati
on as a function of waiting time, and show that the model has aging behavio
r consistent with the distribution of barrier heights. The model appears to
have no sharp glass transition. Instead, it falls out of equilibrium at a
temperature which decreases logarithmically as a function of the cooling ti
me. [S1063-651X(99)04311-1].
