Abstract: | Real glass transitions, where activated processes are included, are analysed near Whitney fold and cusp singularities. In particular the temperature dependence of the viscosity is studied. For sufficiently strongly coupled systems there is close to a fold singularity located atT=T

, there may be a temperature region where the viscosity also shows Fogel-Fulcher like dependence. The results for the viscosity are intimately connected with the dynamics for the so-called -relaxation process, where relaxation occurs via a fractal time process in the delevant time region. |
