Abstract
By means of a systematic expansion around the infinite-dimensional solution, we obtain an approximation scheme to compute properties of glasses in low dimensions. The resulting equations take as input the thermodynamic and structural properties of the equilibrium liquid, and from this they allow one to compute properties of the glass. They are therefore similar in spirit to the Mode-Coupling approximation scheme. Our scheme becomes exact, by construction, in dimension and it can be improved systematically by adding more terms in the expansion.
