Fluctuations and Shape of Cooperative Rearranging Regions in Glass-Forming Liquids

We develop a theory of amorphous interfaces in glass-forming liquids. We show that the statistical properties of these surfaces, which separate regions characterized by different amorphous arrangements of particles, coincide with the ones of domain walls in the random field Ising model. A major cons...
