By minimizing the interaction energy in a soft sphere system without crossing energy barriers the discontinuous athermal jamming transion can be observed at a packing fraction of about 0.64 in 3D [1]. However, if perturbations like thermal fluctuations [2] or an active self-propulsion [3] are added, the transition becomes continuous and the transition packing fraction might occur at a different density. For example, in case of thermal fluctuations, the transition packing fraction approaches 0.55 in case of small thermal fluctuations [2]. We show that the thermal jamming transition lies within the universality class of directed percolation. As a consequence, athermal jamming is a (singular) limit of a much wider class of perturbed jamming transitions that can also be understood as dynamical transitions [2,4]. Therefore, perturbed jamming transitions open up a large variety of amorphous packings and insights how these packings are related to glassy dynamics.
