Abstract
This theory combines a thermodynamic approach with a dynamic one in order to describe glass transition. Glass transition is regarded as an inaccessible second order phase transition, which is interrupted because of premature critical slowing down, caused by the system's frustration. The frustration-induced vortices are present in the structure besides thermoactivated vortices, and prevent the development of the order parameter fluctuations, that leads to the critical slowing down the system kinetics at some temperature above the phase transition point.
