We show that the phonon–saddle transition in the ensemble of generalized inherent structures (minima and saddles) happens at the same point as the dynamical phase transition in glasses, that has been studied in the framework of the mode coupling approximation. The boson peak observed in glasses at low temperature is a remnant of this transition.
