The effects of randomly pinning particles in a model glass-forming fluid are studied, with a focus on the dynamically heterogeneous relaxation in the presence of pinning. We show how four-point dynamical correlations can be analysed in real…

For almost thirty years, mode-coupling theory has been the most widely discussed and used but also the most controversial theory of the glass transition. In this paper we briefly review the reasons for both its popularity and its…
The only available quantitative description of the slowing down of the dynamics upon approaching the glass transition has been, so far, the mode-coupling theory, developed in the 80's by G\"otze and collaborators. The standard derivation of…
