Abstract
We investigate stable glassy states that are found when glass-forming liquids are biased to lower than average dynamical activity. By pinning the positions of randomly chosen particles, we show that many-body correlations in these states are relatively strong and long ranged compared to equilibrium reference states. The presence of strong many-body correlations in these apparently disordered systems supports the idea that stable glassy states exhibit a kind of "amorphous order," which helps to explain their stability.
