## Abstract

Thermodynamics and kinetics are thought to be linked in glass transitions. The quantitative predictions of &#61537;-relaxation activation barriers provided by the theory of glasses based on random first order transitions are compared with experiment for 44 substances. The agreement found between the predicted activation energies near Tg and experiment is excellent. These predictions depend on the configurational heat capacity change on vitrification and the entropy of melting the crystal which are experimental inputs.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
