Abstract

In this note we present numerical simulations of binary mixtures and we find indications for a thermodynamic transition to a glassy phase. We find that below the transition point the off equilibrium correlation functions and response functions seems to be asymptotically compatible with the relations that were originally derived Cugliandolo Kurchan for generalized spin glasses.
