Scaling Description of Dynamical Heterogeneity and Avalanches of Relaxation in Glass-Forming Liquids

We provide a theoretical description of dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids, based on the premise that relaxation occurs via local rearrangements coupled by elasticity. In our framework, the growth of the dynamical correlation length ξ and of the correlation volume χ_{4} are controlle...
