A recent description of the highly viscous flow ascribes it to irreversible thermally activated Eshelby transitions, which transform a region of the undercooled liquid to a different structure with a different elastic misfit to the…
The recent description of the cooling through the glass transition in terms of irreversible structural Eshelby rearrangements with a single average fictive temperature is extended to a distribution of fictive temperatures around the average…
The glass transition in hydrogen-bonded glass formers differs from the glass transition in other glass formers. The Eshelby rearrangements of the highly viscous flow are superimposed by strongly asymmetric hydrogen bond rupture processes,…
The recent Eshelby description of the highly viscous flow leads to the prediction of a factor of two different viscosities in stationary and alternating flow, in agreement with experimental evidence. The Kohlrausch barrier density increase…
The shear flow and the dielectric alpha-process in molecular glass formers is modeled in terms of local structural rearrangements which reverse a strong local shear. Using Eshelby's solution of the corresponding elasticity theory problem…
The shear misfit model for the highly viscous flow is based upon a theoretical prediction for its terminal stage in terms of irreversible Eshelby relaxations in the five-dimensional shear space. The model is shown to predict a small…
The recent theoretical treatment of irreversible jumps between inherent states with a constant density in shear space is extended to a full theory, attributing the shear relaxation to structural Eshelby rearrangements involving the creation…

The ratio between the couplings of a relaxational process to compression and shear, respectively, is calculated in the Eshelby picture of structural rearrangements within a surrounding elastic matrix, assuming a constant density of stable…
The glass transition refers to the non-equilibrium process by which an equilibrium liquid is transformed to a non-equilibrium disordered solid, or vice versa. Associated response functions, such as heat capacities, are markedly different on…
The asymmetry model for the highly viscous flow postulates thermally activated jumps from a practically undistorted ground state to strongly distorted, but stable structures, with a pronounced Eshelby backstress from the distorted…
Glasses are out-of-equilibrium systems aging under the crystallization threat. During ordinary glass formation, the atomic diffusion slows down rendering its experimental investigation impractically long, to the extent that a timescale…
Using positional data from video-microscopy of a two-dimensional colloidal system and from simulations of hard discs we determine the wave-vector-dependent normal mode spring constants in the supercooled fluid and glassy state,…
The highly viscous flow is due to thermally activated Eshelby transitions which transform a region of the undercooled liquid to a different structure with a different elastic misfit to the viscoelastic surroundings. A self-consistent…
The glass transition, extensively studied in dense fluids, polymers, or colloids, corresponds to a dramatic evolution of equilibrium transport coefficients upon a modest change of control parameter, like temperature or pressure. A similar…
Despite decades of intense study, the mechanisms underlying the extraordinary dynamics of supercooled liquids as they approach the glass transition remain, at best, mis-characterized, and at worst, misunderstood. A long standing endeavor is…
We review the search for the glass transition in water in its various amorphous forms, and highlight the paradoxes that the search has produced. Focussing on the glassy form of water obtained by hyperquenching, we examine its reported…
The paper derives a relation for the viscosity of undercooled liquids on the basis of the pragmatical model concept of Eshelby relaxations with a finite lifetime. From accurate shear relaxation data in the literature, one finds that…
The glass transition is considered within two toys models, a mean field spin glass and a directed polymer in a correlated random potential. In the spin glass model there occurs a dynamical transition, where the system condenses in a state…
This perspective article reviews arguments that glass-forming liquids are different from those of standard liquid-state theory, which typically have a viscosity in the mPa$\cdot$s range and relaxation times of order picoseconds. These…
