Abstract
In 1982, David Ruelle argued the possibility of ``Turbulent
crystals'' as thermodynamic equilibrium states at non-zero
temperature, besides periodic and quasi-periodic crystals.
More precisely, they would not be invariant under translation
but would differ from other crystals by the fuzziness of some
diffraction peaks. Although he did not mention the relevance
with glasses, turbulent crystals are closely related to idealized
states of glass in finite dimensions. In my presentation,
after reviewing dynamical system theory quickly, I discuss
the connection between the turbulent crystals and glasses.
Furthermore, as one example of turbulent crystal or pure glass
in finite dimensions (in my word), I show the a 128-states model
in the cubic lattice. The result was published in
Ref. [S.-i. Sasa, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 165702 (2012).]
