Abstract
A theoretical study of the freezing of adhesive hard spheres within th e generalized-effective-liquid approximation has been performed. The l iquid-solid phase diagram exhibits most of the trends observed for sim ple liquids. There is, however, no triple point because the solid phas e becomes mechanically unstable iii the region where the liquid-solid transition crosses the percolation transition. A useful closed-form ex pression for the free energy of the fluid phases is also given.
