Abstract (may include machine translation)
We introduce a model for the slow relaxation of an energy landscape caused by its local interaction with a random walker whose motion is dictated by the landscape itself. By choosing relevant measures of time and potential this self-quenched dynamics can be mapped on to the "True" Self-Avoiding Walk model. This correspondence reveals that the average distance of the walker at time t from its starting point is R(t) ∼ log(t)γ, where γ = 2/3 for one dimension and 1/2 for all higher dimensions. Furthermore, the evolution of the landscape is similar to that in growth models with extremal dynamics.
