Dynamical susceptibilities near ideal glass transitions

Building on the recently derived inhomogeneous mode-coupling theory, we extend the generalized 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 framework allows for a fully microscopic possibility to probe for collective relaxation mechanisms in supercooled liquids near the mode-coupling glass transition. The behavior of these dynamical susceptibilities is then studied in the context of simplified self-consistent relaxation models.
