Dynamical Susceptibilities Near Ideal Glass Transitions

Abstract

Building on the recently derived inhomogeneous mode-coupling theory, we extend the generalised mode-coupling theory of supercooled liquids to inhomogeneous environments. This provides a first-principles-based, systematic and rigorous way of deriving high-point dynamical susceptibilities from variations of the many-body dynamic structure factors with respect to their conjugate field. This new framework allows for a novel and fully microscopic possibility to probe for collective relaxation mechanisms in supercooled liquids near the mode-coupling glass transition.
