Description
Mode-coupling approximations are at the core of the analysis
of the slow dynamical properties of glasses. Unfortunately,
such approximations are neither controlled nor systematic.
We propose a route to carry out such an approximation, based
on field-theoretic techniques, that relies on a small
parameter expansion and that can, in principle, be
generalized to higher orders. Our approach is consistent
with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem requirements.
