A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

The physics of the glass transition and amorphous materials continues to attract the attention
of a wide research community after decades of effort. Supercooled liquids and glasses have …

The glass transition is well known to glass makers or from the common ex perience of drying
a used chewing gum. A liquid melt or a rubber becomes a solid glass when its temperature …

We provide here a brief perspective on the glass transition field. It is an assessment, written
from the point of view of theory, of where the field is and where it seems to be heading. We …

Many high-dimensional statistical inference problems are believed to possess inherent
computational hardness. Various frameworks have been proposed to give rigorous …

In this paper, review of recent theoretical and simulation work on dynamical heterogeneity
and correlated particle motion in glass-forming liquids and polymers is presented. Evidence …

Polymers are good glass formers and allow for the study of melts near the glass transition in
(meta-) stable equilibrium. Theories of the glass transition imply such an equilibrium and …

We study the effect of freezing the positions of a fraction c of particles from an equilibrium
configuration of a supercooled liquid at a temperature T. We show that within the random …

We consider the theory of the glass phase and jamming of hard spheres in the large space
dimension limit. Building upon the exact expression for the free-energy functional obtained …

We start with a few concise definitions of the most important concepts discussed in this entry.
Glass transition For molecular liquids, the glass transition denotes a crossover from a …
