 abstract = {Properties of the free-energy landscape in phase space of a dense
hard-sphere system characterized by a discretized free-energy functional
of the Ramakrishnan-Yussouff form are investigated numerically. A
considerable number of glassy local minima of the free energy are
located and the distribution of an appropriately defined `overlap'
between minima is calculated. The process of transition from the basin
of attraction of a minimum to that of another one is studied using a new
`microcanonical' Monte Carlo procedure, leading to a determination of
the effective height of free-energy barriers that separate different
glassy minima. The general appearance of the free-energy landscape
resembles that of a putting green: deep minima separated by a fairly Rat
structure. The growth of the effective free-energy barriers with
increasing density is consistent with the Vogel-Fulcher law, and this
growth is primarily driven by an entropic mechanism.},
