In this  tal k I will review a  series of works on the rheology of hard sph e res  glasses. First I will discuss the phase diagram that can be obtained from the solution of this model in infinite dimension and then I will compare it with numerical simulations.Hard spheres glasses can be elastic or plastic and they can yield or jam if deformed strongly enough. I will show how to characterize these phases andthe relative phase transitions.
