Significance of time-convolutionless mode-coupling theory in capturing the dynamics of glass-forming liquids (opens in new tab)

This paper demonstrates the significance of the recently proposed time-convolutionless mode-coupling theory (TMCT) in capturing the dynamics of glass-forming liquids. The origin of the primary differences between ideal MCT and TMCT is comprehensively explored from a unified perspective. First, we review two distinct projection operator methods in the Heisenberg picture: the time-convolution (TC) formulation proposed by Mori and the time-convolut...
