The validity of mode coupling theory (MCT) is restricted by an uncontrolled factorization approximation of density correlations. The factorization can be delayed and ultimately avoided, however, by explicitly including higher order…

Many qualitative observations on the glass transition in classical fluids are well described by the mode coupling theory (MCT) but the extent of the non-ergodicity domain is often over-estimated by this theory. Making it more quantitative…
