CONSEGUENZA PER BASSA T Two open problems: If there is no reentrant spinodal, why dynamics is anomalous ? If there are two liquids at low T, which are the two corresponding glasses ? CONSEGUENZA PER BASSA T

What can we expect from simulations (in this context!) Resolution of the pre-glassy Behavior (Tg glass, Strong/Fragile). Help from primitive models. Study of the phase diagram of polarizable potentials and (later on) CP calculations Detailed comparisons with exp data in confined geometries Conclusions
