Abstract

We review some recent results on the self-dynamics in deep supercooled (simulated) water, obtained by analyzing very long Molecular Dynamics simulations. We discuss the possibility of interpreting the observed slowing down of the dynamics in terms of Mode Coupling Theory for supercooled liquids and, at the same time, of associating the experimentally observed anomalies of the transport coefficients in water on lowering the temperature to the formation of long living cages. The so-called critical Angeli temperature TA in supercooled water could be interpreted as kinetic glass transition temperature, relaxing the need of a thermodynamic singularity for the explanation of the dynamic anomalies of liquid water. In the end we discuss the possibility that TA acts as cross-over temperature from fragile to strong liquid behavior.
