> **New experimental and theoretical observations have questioned the origin of the boson peak and the linear in T specific heat exclusively from disorder and TLS.**

> The linear in T behavior in the specific heat is stronger as the modes are more localized and crosses over to a $T^3$ (Debye) regime at a temperature $T^\star \sim \sqrt{ v^3/D}$, where v is the speed of sound.

> In summary, we have shown that **the same physical mechanism is fundamental for such seemingly different phenomena** as the formation of the two-level systems in glasses and the boson peak in the reduced density of low-frequency
> vibrational states. In this way, **two of the most fundamental properties of glasses are interconnected

> In our theory, it follows naturally. The physical reason for the small value of the parameter C is that only a small fraction of all created TLS’s can actually tunnel in realistic time scales.
