Super-Cooled Liquids: Equivalence between Mode-Coupling Theory and Replica Approach
Abstract
We show that the replica approach to glassy dynamics provides, in spite of its static nature, a characterization of critical dynamics in the β-regime of super-cooled liquids that is equivalent to the one of Mode-Coupling-Theory, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The nature and extent of this equivalence is discussed in connection to the main open problems of the current theory.
