SUMMARY:Glassy dynamics as a consequence of the equilibrium liquid to solid
	 transition
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Zohar Nussinov\, WUSTL\n\nPart of the Condensed Matte
	r Theory Seminar Series.\n\nWe will review the underpinning of the micro-ca
	nonical ensemble and the\nmore refined (and explicitly quantum) "Eigenstate
	 Thermalization\nHypothesis". We will then find and apply a simple corollar
	y of these to\nanalyze the evolution of a liquid upon supercooling to form 
	a structural\nglass. Simple\ntheoretical considerations lead to a predictio
	ns for general properties of\nsupercooled liquids. Amongst other things\, a
	 collapse of the viscosity of\nglass formers is predicted from this theory.
	 This collapse indeed occurs\nover 16 decades of relaxation times for all k
	nown types of glass formers.
