Abstract
We show that the external pressure reduces the number of localized low-energy excitations (soft localized modes and two-level systems) in glasses. We also explain the experimentally observed narrowing of spectral holes in a dye-doped polymer glass (polystyrene) under hydrostatic pressure of some kilobars at liquid helium temperatures, as resulting from pressure-induced decrease of the density of states for these excitations.
