In September 1998, the Danish Network on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics (http://mmf.ruc.dk/mathnet/) hosted a conference on the history and philosophy of probability at Roskilde University. Both of us were invited to speak at this conference, and the organizers even extended their hospitality to enable the two of us to take a few more days in Copenhagen after the conference to contin...

Possibility of description of the glass transition in terms of critical dynamics considering a hierarchy of the intermodal relaxation time is shown. The generalized Vogel-Fulcher law for the system relaxation time is derived in terms of this approach. It is shown that the system satisfies the fluctuating–dissipative theorem in case of the absence of the intermodal relaxation time hierarchy.
