ON THE LIQUID GLASS TRANSITION

Abstract
We proposed a new model for the liquid glass transition based on the following assumptions : in the liquid phase, it exists fluctuations of long life time which lead to inhomogeneities in the local free energy. As the free energy is position dependant, we describe the transition as a percolation process. We discuss the conditions under which such a process is possible.
