DESCRIPTION:At finite rates of supercooling\, many liquids fall out of equ
 ilibrium and into an amorphous solid phase. This lecture describes and ill
 ustrates the nature of dynamics in the two phases and the dynamical transi
 tion that connects them. Recent papers on the approach to this topic taken
  in this lecture: \n\nKeys et al\, "Excitations are localized and relaxati
 on is hierarchical in glass-forming liquids" arXiv:1107.3628\n\nJack et al
 \, "Preparation and relaxation of very stable glassy states of a simulated
  liquid" arXiv:1109.2715\n\nSpeck & Chandler\, "Constrained dynamics of lo
 calized excitations causes a non-equilibrium phase transition in an atomis
 tic model of glass formers" arXiv:1110.4546.
