Glass phenomenology from the connection to spin glasses.
Typical features of glass phenomenology such as the Vogel-Fulcher law, the Kauzmann paradox, and the Adam-Gibbs relationship are shown to follow from the recently discovered mapping of glasses to Ising spin glasses in a magnetic field. There seems to be sufficient universality near the glass transition temperature T{g} such that study of the spin-glass system can provide semiquantitative results for supercooled liquids.
