GENERIC RIGIDITY OF NETWORK GLASSES

In this paper, we have tried to collect together some of the more important results regarding floppy modes and constraint counting in glasses that have emerged in the past decade. This work has provided a useful conceptual framework within which to discuss some of the physical properties of glasses. Some of the arguments in this area are subtle and still controversial.
