Abstract

A theory for the non-local stress in liquids captures the crossover from viscous to elastic correlations upon supercooling. It explains the emergence of long-ranged stress fields in glass which originate from the coupling of shear stress to transverse deformations. The Goldstone mode in colloidal glass is shown to be diffusive.
