Abstract
Many-body systems exhibit dynamic behavior ranging between two extremes that can be characterized as structure-seeking and glass-forming, when allowed to cool to a solid structure from a melt or high-energy random structure. This discussion reviews what has been learned about the origins of these two kinds of behavior, in terms of how long-range forces give rise to relatively smooth energy landscapes, cooperative behavior and structure-seeking character, while short-range interparticle forces do the opposite and induce glass-forming character.
