Abstract

The Random First Order Transition (RFOT) theory started with the pioneering work of Kirkpatrick, Thirumalai and Wolynes. It leverages the methods and advances of the theory of disordered systems. It fares remarkably well at reproducing the salient experimental facts of super-cooled liquids. Yet, direct and indisputable experimental validations are missing. In this short survey, we will review recent investigations that broadly support all static aspects of RFOT, but also those for which the standard dynamical extension of the theory appears to be struggling, in particular in relation with facilitation effects. We discuss possible solutions and open issues.

玻璃的RFOT理论：最新进展和悬而未决的问题

随机一阶跃迁(RFOT)理论始于Kirkpatrick, Thirumalai和Wolynes的开创性工作。它利用了无序系统理论的方法和进展。它在再现过冷液体的显著实验事实方面表现得非常出色。然而，缺乏直接和无可争议的实验验证。在这个简短的调查中，我们将回顾最近的研究，这些研究广泛地支持RFOT的所有静态方面，但也包括那些理论的标准动态扩展似乎在挣扎的研究，特别是在促进效应方面。我们讨论可能的解决方案和悬而未决的问题。

期刊介绍： The Comptes Rendus - Physique are an open acess and peer-reviewed electronic scientific journal publishing original research article. It is one of seven journals published by the Académie des sciences. Its objective is to enable researchers to quickly share their work with the international scientific community. The Comptes Rendus - Physique also publish journal articles, thematic issues and articles on the history of the Académie des sciences and its current scientific activity. From 2020 onwards, the journal''s policy is based on a diamond open access model: no fees are charged to authors to publish or to readers to access articles. Thus, articles are accessible immediately, free of charge and permanently after publication. The Comptes Rendus - Physique (8 issues per year) cover all fields of physics and astrophysics and propose dossiers. Thanks to this formula, readers of physics and astrophysics will find, in each issue, the presentation of a subject in particularly rapid development. The authors are chosen from among the most active researchers in the field and each file is coordinated by a guest editor, ensuring that the most recent and significant results are taken into account. In order to preserve the historical purpose of the Comptes Rendus, these issues also leave room for the usual notes and clarifications. The articles are written mainly in English.
